I bought some armstrong ratchet since I get them at a real good price 60 tooth heads so it will make my work alot easier instead of these Craftsman but will see how long they last got lifetime warranty on these. I will probably end up buying a armstrong torque wrench but a regular one I am just...
Well I believe it would be quite difficult to put 135 pds on a head gasket I will be using it for my cummins 5.9 for a head gasket. Well guys I have the guy selling the Snap on Torque Wrench part # QJR-3200B for 65 bucks it needs to be calibrated and it is an older style do you think this is a...
I have always thought Kobalt made their torque wrenches nothing else in the US of A lol but I will most likely be getting a 3/8 wrench since I understand what you mean if I need more torques ill use a cheater bar but yes that what ive been told they recently changed to US made
I am in nc at the moment and yes the nuts have been losen to 80 pds by a beam wrench i attempted to tight them and it clicked no matter what setting i put it in
I just went to look at a used snap on qjr-3200b and well it was a bit rough but i didnt get it because i tried to retighten my lugnuts on my truck and well no matter at what setting i placed it in it would click so i didnt buy it but he was selling it for 75. Did i let a good opportunity pass by?
Yes I know I will be getting a 3/8 torque wrench because I dont need an ernourmous 1/2 wrench wont fit in alot of places and I will probably never remove an engine for head gasket or any top end work. I probably wont need anything past 200 pds anyways
Well i do like to get in there for engine internals but as far as i would go is provably head bolts i wonder if kobalt torque wrenches are really made in the usa
It does seem that way but with the price i get them for its worth it but thinking about it now i dont want to buy an electric one. I will keep looking around kobalt does look like a great tool ill be heading to lowes and check them out.
Shoot where can k find one i would like to compare i would never buy snap on wrenches or ratchets just because i believe there over price i love my dads 80 craftman usa tools there literally the best. I was helping a buddy build a motor when his snap on torque wrench went out he took out his old...
Here is what I am looking at a 3/8 drive since i can use it more often due to its size

Everyone keeps telling me Snap on nowadays your just paying for the name several mechanics and machinist have told me they collected snap on all their life and the only thing they gain was actually losing money there great toold but over priced. but thats why I come to ask here where there are...
I dont mind recalibrating my torque wrench from time to time thats no problem I would just like to buy one that feels great in my hand and is a quality made wrench. I heard of Airplane mechanics using proto and mac tools which I will look into.
I already have used a beam style torue wrench...
Well thats the thing i have not heard much about armstrong tools that why i havent purchased one yet and well they have the same warranty as craftman i believe 90 days recalibration and one year repair and return if any issues. I would like to make it a one time purchase and it will probably be...
