Jeremy v on a 250ft lb rated TW, are you seeing many that are accurate in the 200 - 250 range? Cool avatar by the way!

Here's one, 240 ft lbs. with a 7 amp motor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OZHIN0S/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Def looking like a good option for the OP from the reviews.

The tradeoff, one of the tradeoffs being the use of an extension cord. Corded would work fine if you are near a plug all the time but might need some portability at some point, roadside tire change for one. I also thought cordeds wern't as powerful, correct me if Im wrong...

The people that write the instructions ALSO include people who screw with other people for a living ie LAWYERS. I am an instruction reading type of technician [many dont] I even save instruction sheets for my tools in plastic sleeves in notebooks because. If I can save hours of shop time [over...

Wow, just looked at that mid-range Milwaukee. Looks perfect I'm probably going to order one! :thumbup:

The Kobalt sounds right for you so save up for this investment. It's reely gonna **** if you buy a cheap China and it doesn't get the bolts/nuts you bought it for plus there are your unknowns which will always come about. Get some Stanley impact sockets and a reducer so you can use it w 3/8...

I'll tighten his nuts, address?

Jeez what was the wrench going to be used on?

thanks

http://www.alltradetools.com/catalog/torque-wrenches/2086-940759-.html It's a PITA to read the display but I've played around with it alot and the readings are dead on repeatable and not just in the minute but a day or a week later.

I paid $200 for it so it's not a cheapie either.

To clarify a bit, this wrench went from using it several times a work week or a bit more, for the first 11 years to several times a workday the last 4 years mostly on lug nuts.

I think so. :D

It lost about 3 pounds in accuracy in this time and yes it's a click type, with instructions to return to it's lowest setting after use. Should you try this at home? Not really recommending it but. Anyway, the impetus of my experiment came from reading an article on firearm magazine springs and...

These dooshes deserve no mercy. 10 lashes with a tie down strap is the penalty for this I will help you inflict upon them let me know ;)

Im thinking of getting it as my KD 1/2" Twrench is getting old. Everybody is so high on Tekton in general around GJ but the Tekton 24335 1/2" clicker is trash. I have some Tekton stuff, it is OK but nothing special. Made in USA good point bro, my KD is USA [it's 15 years old] it's too bad we get...

This one is getting good reviews, been watching it for some time now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FDJCH0/?tag=atomicindus08-20

True, we cant be prepared for every little thing we are going into and working around that lack is an art form which separates the effective technician from a "learning" one. Part of which is having multiple options and knowledge to apply to the task at hand.

What there is no reason for is to uneccessarily damage an important fastener, I say important bcz it is one which the next mechanic will have to fight [a bit] to remove then if he is a professional he must then track down a new one at an expense of time and money, these plugs are not located in...

I have a Tekton 1/4" torque wrench, so far so good....
