Finally!! Flea market score!!!

[bigbubba]

We where hitting a few flea markets today and at one i was looking through a booth with a bunch of cheap tools when a guy behind me told his wife"This torque wrench looks just like my snapon but i don't see the name"Well he put's it down and walks off so i pick it up to check it out,Under the price sticker is the words SNAPON made in USA! It's an old bar scale 1/2" drive torque wrench but hey i been needing one! Looks good in my tool box too Oh yeah the price? $4.50! Might not be the greatest score ever but i'm happy

Just because it says snap on doesn't mean its accurate. Check it against a known good torque wrench before using it on anything critical. Good score otherwise

If I read him correctly I think by bar scale, he means beam type. These tend to not get all whacked out of calibration.

Yep it's a beam type,I knew i said it wrong as soon as i typed it LOL.I'll check it before i use it,It looks like it has never had a socket on it

Sorry man,My 18 month old chewed up the cord to the camera She is teething and chews on anything she can get her grubby little hands on LOL.

It appears that SO no longer carries a simple beam type torque wrench. All they show online are clickers, dial type, electronic and certain specialty ones (screwdriver type, etc). No beam type.
