I have won over 100$ in home depot and lowes gift cards. Never tried to win any merchendise or any big amount gift cards (mainly 10$, 15$ and 25$). Only invested about 40-50$ ??(can't really remember) but stopped because it is a hassle and it seems there are more people or bots bidding on small...
So you are saying one is heavier and more accurate, the other one "looks" better. obviously go with the professional ones. who cares about water stains, these are wrenches we are talking about.
I follow this thread and like it as a thread, hate the chit chat that clogs it up. Also hate looking for it when its not on the first page. I vote for just a plain sticky on the thread so we dont have to make an effort to check it...:thumbup:
Advance Auto 40 off 100$. Today only! Use code DOTD513 in shopping cart. This is the code to use if you dont have an advance in your part of the country and need to hit the 75$ mark to get free shipping.
dam thats a sick deal! But someone can correct me if im wrong but star is the producer of the major truck brand compression testers. Ebay search Star compression tester and buy what ever one is in your price range.
Nice score! But are these really that much better than say an ingersol rand super-duty air hammer. The price gap between the the two is several hundred dollars. Obviously you wanted this tool for a reason, this air hammer must be the ****!

tighten a bolt to a specific amount with the new one, then set the old wrench the same torque and check it.
thats what I was planning on doing, thanks for the responses...
It should be fairly accurate since the used one is a snap on techwrench and you can see the torque in "real-time" when...
I just bought this new torque wrench of ebay:

since it is listed as new can I use it to check calibration of a used torque wrench I bought off a fellow GJ member about a week ago?
Great wrenches, I have them and they are high quality. I dug this link up for you if you want a deal, always good to have another set:
