Torque Wrenches

I have 3.

A craftsman 3/8" drive in/lbs. Rubber handle. Range: 0-250 in/lbs. Bought it brand new.

A snap-on flex head digital 3/8" drive ft/lbs, in/lbs, Nm. Rubber handle. Range: 0-100 ft/lbs. Which I used on my head bolts. Bought it brand new.

A no-name autozone special 1/2" drive ft/lbs. Metal handle. Range 0-150 ft/lbs which I used on my crank bolt. Bought it brand new.

Whatever brand you get, just make sure its brand new because it will be freshly calibrated. I only recommended the digital snap-on because it is one of my favorite tools. I pretty much sleep with it under my pillow. You will absolutely love it if you can afford it. But if you don't plan on using it ever again then just get a cheapo one. I use torque wrenches alot because I work on other peoples cars in my spare time so in my case, it was a good investment.
