Hello everyone,
I am in the market for a new torque wrench and I am having some trouble deciding on which one I want to buy. I’ve always been taught that you get what you pay for and a torque wrench is no exception but some of the lower priced options today are really enticing. I don't know if I want to buy something like this (a cheaper but supposedly good wrench) or pony up the $$ and get a better brand like SK or Precision Instruments and hopefully keep it forever. I don’t use it for anything really crazy like torquing head studs or anything but I would like to have something that keeps it’s accuracy and works well. What do you guys use?
Jokes such as “what torque specs” and “I just run it down with the impact” are welcome.
