i've been looking for a good priced torque wrench lately, check this one out if you're looking too!

1/2" Torque Wrench

 

damn thats a good buy!

 

That is a real good buy

 

Get on the mailing list they have been putting out a coupon for that same one for 9.99 every few months if you have a store near by. 14.99 is not bad either.

 

That's the one I use to torque my wheels! :p

Harbor Freight's torque wrenches ARE cheap. Be careful if you use it for something that HAS to be a specific torque with hardly any give. It's not often that is the case though.

Their calibrations can be off by a good amount. Always store it on the lowest setting, never store it on a setting higher than that

 

I've used some Harbor Freight torque wrenches. They are "OK" but I don't like them as much as the Craftsman ones I've used. The reason is the HF ones did not "click" (even though they were "stop click") when properly torqued, the handled only pivoted. Yet, the CM ones clicked. Maybe the HF click is a lot quieter then the CM, I don't know.

I find that REAL nice so you don't get too into what you are doing and overlook that the handle pivoted.

For that price, if you need one, it's a sweet deal. I personally use one so few times, I borrow one when needed and eventually I want to get a CM one for my own garage.
