In search of a Torque Wrench

[Nighthawk_GD3]

I am looking for an affordable click-type torque wrench. Preferrably somewhere around 5Ft-lb to 50 ft-lb. I already have a larger one thats 75-150. But i want a smaller one for tight spaces and low torque bolts/nuts. The only ones i deal with at work all cost over $300...not lookin for that

Have you checked Sears and Harbor Freight? Can't get more affordable than those two.

I havent been to sears store yet, checked on-line no luck. And harbor freight has a bunch of affordable Dial and deflecting beam wrenches but in tight spots, those are useless. Maybe ill go to Sears sometime soon.

I think I saw one at WalMart. Good thing is it's probably inexpensive b/c it's WalMart. Bad thing is, well..... It's Walmart.

i know crafts man has a small one for i believe 5-50lbs

[Nighthawk_GD3]

Yeah im not much worried about the brand. If i suspect its not working right, i am a Metrologist(not METEOROLOGIST) so i know how to adjust torque wrenches and i have access to a torque standard to see if the readings are in the ball bark

I got my torque wrench from Harbor Freight - 3/8" drive, 10-80 ft/lb. range, click-type. I think it was like $30? It's been a while, but it's held up pretty well. I'm pretty sure they've got click-type 1/4" drive ones as well for the jobs your talking about.

yah, just get the harbor freight one or the one from tirerack. they are okay but make sure you compare torque with your good one (such as snap-on) to check correlation.
