Snap On

Thank you for all the input. Anyone have any suggestions on a good USA made torque wrench? Its definitely on my get ASAP list

Just get out there and buy some snap on and be done with it. Then tomorrow you can ask what kind of bagel you should eat.

Gearwrench torque wrenches are made in the USA and make torque wrenches for Matco... They are high quality click type and can be had at Tool Topia at a huge discount. You are entitled to your opinion though.

My apologies. I didnt think that gearwrench made them in the US. Ill have to research into them.

Thanks Jdon99. Im staying away from gearwrench. Especially for my torque wrench. One thing I refuse to skimp at all on. Im sure gearwrench works good but I dont need a bolt snapping or coming loose at 100 mph on my ATV.

I would seek out Precision Instruments, they made most of Snap-On's torque wrenches of the last 50 years, and here is the good part, you can search on the Internet and find them at 1/3 or less of the Snap-On price because you are buying direct from the original maker, no Snap-On markup!

here is a super useful torque wrench they made for Snap-On for decades, and you can buy it for 1/3 the truck price!

I look at tools as an investment. I like to diversify.

Snap-On is in my opinion one of the best tool makers in the USA, a bit over-priced but worth it. I have some Snap-On wrenches that are from the 70s, never had to replace one of them.
