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.
damn, thanks for the link. just bought 3/8 and 1/2.

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.

/rant
most technicians would say the opposite because most of us dont like letting people use our tools. but anyway the snapon torque wrench is worth every penny. it is very accurate.. id rather have this than any click one.
