I need a torque wrench. Read various reccomendations about what to get. Mine will be for home shop use, probably rebuild my engine eventually, work on my other cars, etc. The clicker type seem nice, and easier to use in different orientations (don't have to be able to see the gauge). But, I've heard that they occasionally need to be calibrated. A beam type is maintenance free, and cheaper, but a little harder to use. Any opinions? Types, brands, etc?

clicker style all the way..........
I've got a 1/4" drive in-lb clicker, 3/8 drive ft-lb and of course everyone should have a 1/2" drive ft-lb clicker tq wrench for thier lug bolts/nuts !!!! Just remember to do the conversion correct if you are using a ft-lb wrench for a in-lb application...a buddy of mine cracked his transmission case when he cranked a bolt to 25 ft-lb instead of 25 in-lb, LOL |
