Torque wrench suggestions

[JamesBill]

Going to finally get one after borrowing friends for years and now not having any friends. I have a motorcycle I will probably do everything on and a car I will be doing various small things on so a 3/8" with 20-80Nm range will be fine.


There are some Snap On QD2R100's for sale (~$160)on eBay which would be nice for man jewelry as this will rarely get used and can stay nice looking for years.

Any better suggestions? I notice the cheaper click type craftsmans are about $65. I know the you get what you pay for but I'm not working on aircraft here.

Look at CDI. They are owned by snap on and only make torque instruments. The 3/8 will be around $100, as i'm looking at one myself.

But you only live once and Snap-on torque wrenches are sweet.

I have a 35 year old 1/2 drive Snap On and a new 3/8 drive Wright. Love both.

I ordered a tekton as a one time use for a job. Was impressed.
