Torque wrench

Any recommendations?

For you? Whatever is the most expensive!

Most any click-over style should be fine. As long as you return it to zero to store.... and get it cal'd every year. If you want to treat it like underwear the Harbor Freight speical doesn't completely suck.

Do you actually calibrate yours every year? I've gotten married more times than I have calibrated my torque wrench.

It is cheap and I have 4. I've had more torque wrenches break/ uncal than both of us have been married.

I realize there is a joke at my expense here.

My boss tried to help me find a Russian bride... After trying to find a Canadian girl for me.

Ken, is this just to torque lug nuts, or are you assembling suspension, or diffs and engines?

For wheels, get the Harbor Freight part and replace it every year. For suspension, get a quality click style wrench in the range you need. For assemblies that require more detail, get two or three decent gauge style vintage Snap-On wrenches from ebay and have them calibrated.

Where is the order form and do you have a coupon code?

I think harbor freight has a coupon for their torque wrench for $9.99 right now

I got a flyer in the mail from HF yesterday with a $9.99 coupon for their torque wrenches.

Didn't GRM test a bunch of torque wrenches and find the Horrible Freight cheap-o wrench to be the most accurate?

I think that's the normal going rate. The last one I picked up was 6.99 I think. Works great, just make sure you check the screws on the backing plate and make sure they aren't loose.
