    Torque Wrench Sale

    If you need a click type torque wrench, now is the time to get one
    at Harbor Freight while they are on sale for $10 each.
    In Charleston anyway the 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 are on sale from 6/10 - 6/12,
    so they may be on sale at all locations.

      Looks like torque wrenches are on sale again this weekend but the price has gone up a dollar.

        Spend the $ and buy a beam style wrench. They don't loose calibration and are more accurate. I'd only use an HF wrench for wheels, anything else requires more precision.
        Trees aren't kind to me...

        currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
        94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

          ^ You might be surprised. I compared a cheapo click to a beam from Snap-On. It was close enough as to make no difference in the real world. Maybe at the inch-lb precision level you'd notice, but for ft-lb I don't worry about it.

          Something I would note, though. The quality is not very good. Even compared to say, a $30 one from Wal-Mart I already had, they are cheap, and it shows. I would not be happy with them at regular price. Like not at all.

            I was buying cheap ones from Lowes or HF, and they would eventually (sometimes pretty soon) stop working in one of various ways. The one I have now is a Tekton 24335, and I'm happy with it.

              How is the fit and finish on that Tekton? It looks really nice.

                The Wal-Mart tire product brand used to be good too. And cheap. Mine still, probably 10 years later, matched the beam I mentioned, and feels good. Parts are nice finish and fit well.

                  It's an impressive value at $40. Good fit/finish.
