Where can i get thems? I went to homedepot and they had like $50-60 torque wrenches... I just need it for my FSTB (30lbs), and I wont be using it again.. I saw one Twrench for like 10bucks, but that had needles and the homedepot guy said that was really inaccurate. Someone help me if you know a cheap good place! (p.s. kragen or pepboys didn't have one.. they had that 10dollar cheap Twrench..)

 

You can get the beam-type torque wrench from sears for about $25. It's accurate enough. The only drawback in comparison to the click-type torque wrench is that you have to be able to see the torque reading while you're tightening the nut. With the click-type, you just listen for the click.
For the FSTB, the beam-type is just fine. I suggest you use it for tightening your lugnuts too.

 

The best ones cost more than $200 but you can buy Chinese-made torque wrenches for much less. Look at http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ta...?itemnumber=239 This is a "click type" torque wrench, not a "needle type". I have used one of these for two years and am entirely satisfied with it. $20 + S/H is a good deal. Harbor Freight has had this item on sale at least twice in recent months for only $10 + S/H. I have used one of these "cheapies" for two years and am entirely satisfied with it.

Harbor Freight waives shipping (but not handling) charges for orders larger than $50. Perhaps you and your buddies can put together a shared order to save on shipping.

 

thanks for the info guys

 

If you are planning on using the torque wrench just one time, you might want to also consider renting it. Go to your local PepBoys/AutoZone/auto parts store. Most of them should have a rent-a-tool program. Put down a deposit, use the tool, return and get your deposit back.

 

Got mine at Autozone for less than $30. It's the one that clicks and has a 1/2" driver. Just make sure to buy a 1/2" to 3/8" drive converter.
