FSTB Help

I ordered an FSTB from StealthMax and it should arrive any day now. After reading up on installations and checking previous forum posts, it seemed like I needed a torque wrench.

I went to buy a torque wrench from Pepboys but they want $40 for it!

The wrench costs almost as much as the FSTB! Are they ripping customers off? If $40 is the standard price for a torque wrench then I guess I'll hafta get it. Is there any place to get a cheaper wrench?

One other thing, Is there any particular brand or type of torque wrench I should get? Thanks, I'm kinda new at this.

You can always try searching the internet...

or just bite the bullet and get a quality one you can actually see and touch at a store.

Purchasing one is a good investment...it can be used not only for the FSTB installation, but also to retorque lug nuts, etc. in the future.
