Not bad prices for two very high quality torque wrenches. Never dealt with that vendor before, though....


Not sure if this would work for you or not, but I just got the latest Craftsman Club flyer in the mail...the Christmas one.

Anyhow, it has a 3 piece set of Craftsman click-type torque wrenches for $79.99 with the club card...which is free to enroll to get one.

Granted, they aren't the super top quality and probably have about a 7% variance but if a guy would remember to turn them down to the lowest setting after every use they will probably last the average home user quite a long time.

Then, when things work out for you later and you have the extra paper available you can get the nicer ones.

Just a thought.......Dan-

 

Thanks to all here. If these are the nicer ones I'll just go with them. The kid makes pretty good money workin on cars and motors in his free time, not to mention my projects so i wanna get him some good ones.

If all goes well for our winter projects were gonna rebuild my old Massey Ferguson Diesel tractor and he's gettin ready to drop an LS6 Motor in his little Miata so it's time for some a these.

 

The ones you are looking at are identical to the Snap-on wrenches that cost around $300, because Precision makes them for Snap-on.

You can't get much higher quality than a Precision or CDI torque wrench without spending into the thousands.

 

I'd go with the second one because it's 1/2 in. drive. You can get more versatilty out of it. That's just my two cents.

 

Torque wrenches work best in a particular range....having both is a better way to go.

 

I would also go with the 1/2 ich drive, first. And as far as ordering, I haven't ordered anything from tooltopia yet, but I have heard very good things about them. Free shipping too.

 

I should know shortly about Tooltopia, ordered them today. I guess the big boy wrench for 200 plus pounds will have to come used, I can't drop $300 plus on a single wrench but I'm sure used ones aren't hard to come by.

 

Did you order both the ones you linked to earlier?

 

I ordered both of em.

 

One of those is a 40-250ft/lb wrench.....what was you talkin' about before?

I'm lost........
