Any opinions as to what the best value angle gauge is Would prefer a model that is easy to use. I will be using it in the shop. Mostly for European suspension, I keep running into these stretch bolts lately. Specifically for a BMW 535 x drive axle nut bolt.

THanks

I wouldn't get a torque angle gauge. After using one I threw it in the trash and bought an electronic torque wrench that had it built in. I actually bought an adapter from Eastwood for around $50 IIRC that I use. Very accurate, super simple to use etc. I know they also sell traditional electronic torque wrenches with angle built in as well.

Do it. Not worth the hassle of the cheap ones, especially in a shop environment.
