shawnss Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ok so i do all of my own work on my vehicle's and a lot of the time i need a torque wrench. but i don't own my own. so i end up borrowing my buddy's torque wrench and that get's old. so im looking to buy a torque wrench. Im wondering what brand to stay away from. what are you guy's using for a torque wrench. I will be using it for basic engine assembly head bolts, rods, main stud ect. i would like it to be 1/2 drive might consider a 3/8s. any information would be great thanks. it wont be used on wheels or anything like that. mostly just engine stuff and suspension stuff.

Guest Jason* Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have Husky's 3/8 and 1/2 torque wrenches and I love them. Lifetime guarantee so if they break they will replace for free. I use Husky for 99% of all my tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramer Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I use a Craftsman 1/2" drive that I have had for 15yrs. Works great, an last time I checked calibration it was only .5lbs off at 160. And right on at 20. I also use a Snap On 1/4" and 3/8".
