I find myself in need of a replacement torque wrench. I have one from Sears, had it recalibrated once several years back, but it cost me a few $$$$$$ . I'm a bit of a wrench head but not to the point of 'overhauling' an engine ........ Sooooooo ,,, What are you guys using?

Beam type craftsman for little stuff lifetime warranty FTW trade it in now and again just to get a fresh one lol

For bigger stuff I use a great neck or whatever autozone carries, again lifetime trade it in

For engine building I do on the side a 350 dollar snapon that I never use on anything else.

Depends on what it's used for but get a couple diff sizes the tq wrench is most accurate in the middle of its range

The trick is to have a couple good ones. I use a 3/8th one for 0-250 inch lbs on small bolts, I have a 1/2 inch one that I use for 20 ft lbs to about 70 ft lbs, then I have a dedicated 1/2 inch one that I use only on larger torque settings of say 80-250 ft lbs and up. I do that so I'm not using the same wrench on a wide array of different torque settings and hopefully they remain accurate longer. I like the Sears Craftsman line.

I also have an old school dial torque wrench that I've had for years, which is kinda cool, but I don't really use it much, the click type are just easier to use for my purposes, though the dial wrench is pretty accurate.
