Which torque wrench:
 

All 1/2 drive, primarily used for wheels, but also other stuff. I currently have a beam type torque wrench, which works fine but is a pain for quick wheel swaps.

1) SK, 10-150 ft lbs

2) SK, 20-250 ft lbs

3) Craftsman 20-150 from local flyer. $59


I'm thinking 1). 90 ft lbs is still near the upper middle of the range so it should be fine, and having a lower range might make it more accurate for lower torque jobs. I know that near the bottom of the range they're not as accurate.

Suggestions?

You'll need 108 ft-lbs when you get the RX-8.

The SK is great for people not turning wrenches for a living, and especially for ham-fisted weekend mechanics. The click on those are much more noticeable than the Snap-On torque wrenches. If you're doing other (smaller) jobs I'd go with #1.

A bunch of us SoCal folks have the SK 74151 (20-150 ft-lb) models or the KD Tool equivalent. Some also have the Craftsman/Husky/etc. equivalents. And there is one FACOM owner.

Some of us also have a smaller wrench for those smaller jobs like torquing down the oil filter housing cover and the various oilpan/tranny/diff/etc. fill and drain bolts.

Or should I have said "do a search" :)

Hey, I asked a very specific question. :flipoff:


:P

Asked and answered several times.... Do a search :mad:

None of the above.

Just remember that torque wrenches do not come with the normal Sears Craftsman Lifetime replacement warrantee.

Why?
