I want to buy a good torque wrench with accurate readings. What kinds do you all use and how are they holding up over time? Should i get a digital one?

I live near animal jungle on holland road. I have an air compressor. Can some one lend me an imapct gun so i can take of my fly wheel off?

 

craftsman

 

Snap-On torque wrench. Digital is a luxury you only need if the wrench is making you money and you're using it a lot.

You have an air compressor and no impact? Buy yourself an Ingersol-Rand Titanium. Air tools are the one place where Snap-On doesn't make the best stuff.

 

okay, no digital.

Is there some brand that makes exceptional torque wrenches?

 

Snap-On.

Snap-on is the best out there but kind of pricey

 

I'm in consensus with everyone else on Snap-on, however, their prices are outrageous. A Craftsman torque wrench is going to be great tool for a shade tree mechanic like yourself and it will cost half the price. Not to mention, the Craftsman tool will have a lifetime warranty regardless.

 

a snap on digital will be the best choice. it may be a luxury but when you get old and that thing is still hanging on at least you'll be able to see what you are setting it to.

 

Agreed 100%. Snap-On digital torque wrenchs start in the low 300's on their site while Craftsman digital ones are 100 on their site. Unless you do this work for a living, Id opt for the Craftsman. Its not so much that Snap-On makes the BEST tools, its that Craftsman doesnt make bad ones. They are quite exceptional for their cost.
