and now that you can get one for $10, you have no excuse not to have one.

1/2\" drive torque wrench

 

I had one of those, but I didn't like the clicker type. I found a needle type craftsman at sears for ~$25.

 

i love the clicks

torque - click - neeeext!

i spent over $100 on my craftsman, and i still bought one of these for the crx.

 

Does this fall in the "get what you pay for" category? They also sell screwdrivers in a bin at Sav-On Drugs pretty cheap.

 

I'm all for the 1/2" drive torque wrench (one was in my Integra when she was stolen). But, ten dollars? I would say that having no tool at all is less dangerous than a cheap one.

 

Could use it as a weapon on an as-needed basis, or for fun & profit.

 

well, they have a lifetime guarantee, and i've purchased other tools and a jack from here. when i get mine, i'll see how it measures up to my craftsman.

it's still a good tool to have in your possession considering how important it is to torque your lugs to 80ft/lbs.

even if it does break, you'll still have your oem wrench because it's a part of your jack mechanism.
