best place to get inch pound torque wrench

[Doc8404]

I won't say Sears.

But, get Craftsman.

I stated earlier that I just bought a Cornwell wrench and I love it. I also have three Snap On wrenches in 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 inch drives. They're the ones that are flat and have some kind of torsion bar arrangement. They're all over twenty years old and every time I sent them in to be calibrated, I got them back with no cost because they needed nothing. I paid the price in the beginning and it's paid off. The Cornwell is a dial type. Great for setting bearing preload.

That was the only reason I bought an inch-lb torque wrench. I have an OTC dial type and rebuilt many an axle with it.
Our transmission tech had a Snap-On inch-lb clicker which he swore by. Bad thing to mistorque an aluminum valve body.

I would recommend the Tool Warehouse. Here is a link to the torque wrenches on their site. http://thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/TTW355.html
Lots of good stuff here guys. At our shop we use the precision instruments torque wrench and have found it to be of excellent quality.

Been using a 0 to 600 in lb Craftsman beam (3/8in dr) type for years, a Craftsman 0 to 150 ft lb beam (1/2in dr) for awhile, both work fine. Plan on spending a fair amount for good clicker, dial or electronic types.

I just bought a $25 Craftsman 0-75 ft. lb. torque wrench and i'll let you know how it works.
