Everyone, can you post up what torque wrenches you own, how you feel about them and which ones you wish you had? I’m looking to buy a few in the next coming weeks and have come to some of my own conclusions, but i want to hear what everyone else thinks =) so please list those little sluts ~! ---

buy a quality one… you’ll get a lot of use out of it and it’s important that it’s accurate and that it stays accurate as it’s stressed. (i.e. no Harbor Freight jobbers) ~Snap-On ---

I have two: 3/8 Drive Craftsman 1/2 Drive Craftsman I bought the online only red blow molded cases for them, then bought a truck tool box to keep them in. In the truck tool box I also keep my 21mm deep socket covered with black duct tape so I don’t scratch my wheels, along with my breaker bar. Basically, whenever I need to do anything with the wheels, I just grab that box. Works out well. Oh, and to ANYONE out there, I have in my possession a torque transducer and a calibration box, and if anyone has doubts about their torque wrench, I can tell you if they are accurate or need to be sent out for recalibration. So if anyone wants their torque wrench tested for accuracy, I can do it. ---

> [@MaximaSE98](#): > > on a side note…the Snap-on torque sticks for Impact guns are surprisingly accurate as well…i have the blue one for 80ft lbs I second that. We used them at SSBC and every time i sent them out for verification/calibration, they came back within +/- 2.5% of stated torque value. ---

I got a, I beleive, craftsman… havent touched it in a while though (just collecting dust in my parents garage)… havent had a use for it lately, but it’s a damn good investment for when ya do need it (I HIGHLY reccomend using one for sparkplugs lol… having them blow out of the head from over torquing them is a bad thing um key) ---
