jagos wrench = the pimp ----. torque wrenches are fine for things with bearings, but you can ususaly feel when your where you need to be, if you're not a dumbass. So, good buy.

same but some ---- I work on is very nasty to get at and when you pull on the 3/8 hard your not in controll of it you over torque it and not even know, just cuz it clicks doesn't mean its good

If you tryed one of the digitals you would no what I ment they acually tell you if youve gone too far. Its not a big deal I'm not that picky unless I'm building some crazy beast.

Oh i have that exact Snap On digital but in red not grey.I dont work in a shop anymore just at home on Hondas so it is fine for assembling motors on a stand as really i dont need a tq wrench on a Honda other then that.
