snapon torque wrench

[smokey0066]

I'm looking at a used snapon qjr3209c. it looks like this model isn't made/sold anymore. Can anyone tell me anything about it? good/bad? The seller is asking $100/shipped for it.

I'll be using it primarily for wheels and light work around the motor. If this isn't a good buy can anyone suggest a better torque wrench to look at. I don't want to spend more than $100 at this point.

thanks!

I googled the model and it looks like it's 1/2" drive, but in inch pounds. That would become annoying to me converting to ft.lbs. Also, when you buy a used torque wrench, consider the cost of having it calibrated since there's a good chance it's off.

If I was limited to $100, I'd buy this...

Yup I realize inch lb might get annoying. Seller said he bought it but never used it so its almost brand new. Don't know how much of that I can trust but I like to think that you can still trust people these days.
