    Torque wrenches

    I would love to hear more on this subject. From my limited experience, torque wrenches seem to wear out or need recalibration quite often. We hardly use ours at work, and we go through 1 per year (2 westwards 1 proto). Is spending more $$ worth it when it comes to torque wrenches?

    Best pry bar if you could only have one, maybe two?

    definitely get a metal capped one for striking. I have broken hard plastic handle ones, using them as a chisel in places where a normal chisel doesn't fit. The "one" i carry in my tool pouch is a orange 18" Mac.
