I'm looking to invest on a nice and accurate torque wrench. I'm thinking of getting Snap On click type wrench. Any feedbacks? Are there any other brands that are worth buying?

 

my mechanic (as many of them do) swears by his Snap-on.

 

a craftsman digital 1/2" one !

 

I'm going digital and will be picking up the new MAC piece. Snap-On torques are high quality, as are the MAC and a few others. Depending on the level of use, a cheaper Craftsman might be a better buy.

 

Look down, there's a thread right here on page 1........

thought about going digital but I've heard that you have to get it calibrated every so often

 

As with any precision instrument, they're all supposed to be re-calibrated every once in a while, even the non-digital variety. I just did a google search on "calibrate torque wrench" and there's plenty of how-to's and videos on it.

i have a snap-on. It is really cool haha
It vibrates and beeps when I reach the torque...

 

I love my Snap On torque wrench.

 

Check the warranty too. Craftsman doesn't cover torque wrenches like their other hand tools. Had one blow apart on me and warranty is only like 90 days.
