decent torque wrench for casual DIYer?
i change out my rims 1-2x a year and i don't like using the torque stick. i have an impact wrench for loosening lugs.. so is the harbor freight one ok to use, or should i get something else?

I don't know if he is referring to the same torque stick but when i worked at sears torque sticks were extensions with different torque limits that you could use with an impact gun as to not overtighten the lugs. They typically have ranges such as 110-80 not very precise but better than overtightening lug nuts.

to the OP, Wow, $10 for a 1/2" torque wrench. i wouldn't trust a $10 torque wrench for more than 1 pull. i would spend more and get a Sears model at the very least.
