Default Good Value TQ Wrench
Wanting to know where to buy some good tq wrench? I have an OLD SCHOOL Craftsman dial style, not sure if it is Still calibrated. Anyways maybe a new dial type Craftsman, harbor freight?
Suggestions needed! Uses: head bolts and other misc bolts.

Check the sponsor section. We have a new sponsor that has a great deal on a digital torque wrench right now. Sounds like they can be re calibrated too!

Best bet buy a good one once. It sucks how much snap on, Mac, etc charge, but they will last 10times the craftsmen. One of the only tools I will spend extra on.

I have a craftsman 3/8 torque wrench. After about 10 years of use I decided to check its calibration a few months ago and it's still spot on.

I have all three of the Craftsman clicker wrenches but I would like to get a digital torque to yield wrenches like SnapOn makes. Just don't want to pay $450-500 for a SnapOn...
