Re: got a new torque wrench
did the Snap-on seller test it before you took pocession?
My 35 year old Sears POS Craftsman that was set on 85 ft/lbs (major NO-NO!) was more accurate than EVERY digital and about 1/4 or the "old school" torque wrenches on his truck.

Re: got a new torque wrench

about how much does a good one cost? I dont think i trust those digital ones cuz they could get uncalibrated or w/e. but thats prolly cuz i dont know anything about digital tq wrenches.
