This company actually makes the wrenches that Snap-on sells. If you order them direct from them, they are cheaper and they also offer many more products.

Since I'm a student, I found out that I can get Snap-On at list price; I might go this route.
Thanks for all the replies guys.

They start at around $200+ new. I've seen used one's on ebay sell for around $100. If I was to get one off ebay, I would send it back to Snap-On right away to have it re-certified.

Which company makes the most reliable and precise torque wrench?
The only company I've come across that provides NIST certification with their torque wrench is $nap-on.

We use the CDIs pictured below, a lot of the Snap-On non electronic are are actually Precision Instruments another great brand. Beyond that would only trust Stahlwille
