Re: got a new torque wrench
I love this ----... I have a new kid that just got out of lincoln tech workin in my shop and he is a ------- mororn, cant do ---- right, thinks he is smarter than the guys that have been there forever, and yet he buys the most expensive snapon ----. he bought that smae torque wrench. All they do is ------ change oil anyway, wtf do u need a digital torque wrench for? lol. wtf does he need a box bigger than mine for too?!?! (i have a moderate sized top/bottom Mac one that I got used for 600 bucks few years ago, moved up from the small *** craftsman one that didnt fit ----, most of my stuff was on my cart) this kid bought the 8 grand double bank mini-van sized bitch to damn near put a socket set in lol. My ***** packed to the hilt, the ball bearings are bout to ---- out and id still rather buy more usefull ---- than a 450 dollar torque wrench. I have a craftsman 1/2", SK 3/8", and a Matco 1/4". I spent less on all 3 and its guranteed more accurate than 1 digital one that goes from 15 in/lbs to 250 ft/lbs. Thats just too much range for 1 wrench.

Re: got a new torque wrench
These are what I have:

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=2696
When I bought them, I worked for Netjets. I had them sent out for calibration. The were considered accurate enough to use on airplanes. I assembled my vitara motor with them. It hasn't come apart yet...
I wish snap-on would start making toilet paper.

I didn't know you worked at a shop. Did you do a apprentiship(sp) or anything?
