Torque Wrench recommendations needed.

[RGAZ]

I use a Harbor Frieght special in both 3/8" and 3/4" (its 4 feet long).

Why? do you ask. Heres' why:

I checked their calibration at my work with our torque calibrator and they are consistently within 1 in-lb for the small and 1 ft-lb for the large. Since almost every bolt has a torque RANGE and not a single number to hit, these are the lowest-cost option.

I have had them for 10 years without an issue.

I'm starting to believe Randy cause Craftsman has gotten cheeper and cheeper over the years.

I have one that is at least 30 years old that has been in my tool box unused for a good 20 years that I will sell for $50. plus shipping. A brand that i have never heard of. JO LINE with 2504 AFMR in between the JO and the LINE. It is 1/2 inch drive.

If you can buy it for that kind of money you better jump on it. I would keep mine to use as just a breaker bar rather than sell for that kind of money. LOL!
