Which torque wrench?

[pt91]

I am planning on upgrading my POS 1/2" torque wrench to something nicer and more accurate. Looking at craftsman and snap on.
Any recommendations?
Should I also get a 3/8" torque wrench for non-wheel work?
Tks in advance.

Personally, I use the AmPro brand (Advanced Auto Parts) and have both the 1/2" and 3/8" to cover all bases.

This Craftsman 3/8" has done the trick for me.

It depends on how much you use it. I have several, but my favorite is my Snap on Digital, not cheap, but very nice, VERY accurate. Wide range, Dont remember min/max, I will look later if you want info, or model #.

JMO Snap-on is the best... I found this one on ebay TQFR 250C retails for around $250 but used go for $120-$150.

Snap-On digital. The best.

Thanks for everyone that posted.
I am bidding on used snap on digitals, but will probably end up with the craftsman digital 1/2" to start. It is much better than my current wrench.

Ended up getting a new 3/8" and a new 1/2" craftsman digitork. Both on ebay delivered for about $100. Almost 1/2 MSRP price. :biggrin:
