Looking to get a smaller torque wrench probably 1/4 maybe a 3/8. Main thing I'm looking for is something that'll fit into tight spots. Don't need anything with going to high maybe 200 in
-lbs or so. Length is my main concern. I was looking at the gearwrench 1/4 on tooltopia. Probably the digital but open to dial. Only thing is can't find a review for them or the specs for length and such. Anybody know about either or have a suggestion for a different wrench. Want quality but don't wanna spend a fortune.any help is appreciated thanks

Most of those 1/4 drive torque wrenches only go up to 240 inch pounds, but you're wanting a compact torque wrench that goes up to 100 foot pounds?

Your right I was wondering why the ones I was looking at were going up that high. Didn't read it careful enough. I don't need one that high anyways Its gonna be used on upper engine work and such so 20 ft-lbs or 240 in-lbs is what it'll be used for.

I have an old Snap-on clicker that was made by Precision Instruments. The P/N is QJR117F. Precision Instruments is available through ToolTopia and they're very similar to the wrenches they used to make for Snap-on. I'll give you a link and you can check them out. They're superb quality and they're only about 9 inches long. They'd be perfect for what you're wanting.

thanks I was looking at this one abd the digital one made by them as well but couldn't find any specs on size of these either and didn't want to pay that much on a gamble. But 9" is perfect for what I need it for.

That is the one I have. Picture below. It's sitting next to a 3/8" snap on F80. Overall, i am pretty happy with it. It is very small.
