Well my trusty HF has been pissing me off lately so i think i am gonna replace it. It is about 10 years old so it is probably inaccurate anyways. I was looking at a craftsman digital one, it has alot of cool features. Just wondering if any of yall use a digital tq wrench

 

i have a snap-on 3/8 and 1/2 digital torque wrench.they both work good.expensive but there nice

 

How much easier can you get then turning a ****?? Pushing a button? hahaha I still like the old school ones.. I use a snap on one, it has been working well for a long time..

 

Well that craftsman digital one has gotten some bad review.... there is a sponsor on tech that sells Brown Line digital wrenches for about half of what the craftsman one runs...

 

I also understand that the craftsman lifetime warranty does not apply to torque wrenches. I also like the snap-ons, especially if you are using it for engine building where it's critical.

 

Ben has a real nice snap-on i think is about $250..

 

i think i paid almost 500 for the 1/2 snap on digital torque wrench.can't remember about 3/8s..i like them cuz they will do degree's and i don't have to be aggreviated with a degree wheel

 

Also a good thing for the snap-on is, you can stop in the middle of a turn wrench and it will keep track of how many degrees you have been unlike a conventional degree wheel where you have to get it all in one stroke.

 

I went with a Brownline TQ wrench. They sell them over on tech however i found a decent deal on ebay..

Brownline Torque Wrench Digital Control 1/2" Reversible w/ Storage Case (898207002022) | eBay

 

I know you have already bought that Brownline wrench, but another good brand is CDI torque products.. You can find them on Automotive Tools, Auto Specialty, Air tools, Hand tools, Mechanics Tools and Equipment

I could be wrong but they make some of snap-on's torque wrenches.. The one i bought is a 1/2" 30-250 lb. ft.. Its a great wrench and i got it shipped for like $158
