EBAY Torque Wrench

Need to rotate my tires. I'm at 7,500 miles. Need a suggestion for a good torque wrench from EBAY for 20.00 dollars, or less. What size drive do I need, & do the wheel bolts get torqued to 80 lbs. of pressure?

torque isn't pressure. the unit of torque will be length-force, ie foot-lbs or inch-lbs. I'm guessing you're looking for something that will need 80 ft-lbs. You are probably looking at a 1/2'' torque wrench. Look at harbor frieght as well. You may also want to look at having a place like discount tire, i thinke they will rotate them for like 10 bucks.

if youre getting one, dont get a shizzy one...go to sears they have good ones for a decent price......now...i agree with the newb above just have some place do it...or when you get your oil changed it can be done as well......

OR dont worry about the torque not a lot of people actually torque it down to that amount its usually hand tightned

+1 on harbor freight. I have a torque wrench from there that works great and I think I picked it up for around $20.
