What do you use?
Been using a KD Tools torque wrench that is more than 20 years old and is probably out of specs by now. Rather than send in for calibration thought I would be better off purchasing a new one. Wonder if some of you can give me your recommendations as to what make and model wrench I should be looking at. Thanks.

i have 2 snap on TQ wrenches that i use one for the small stuff like case bolts and things like that and then the other for high TQ stuff. both are from there digital TQ wrench line you can watch the numbers build up to TQ and when you hit TQ it vibrates so if you cant see the panel you will feel the TQ and it beeps also but usually its pretty loud when im working so i mainly go off the Vib cause i cant hear the beep normally.

I have 3/8" & 1/2" drive Snap On wrenches for internal engine fasteners. Everything else just gets torqued by feel.

In/lb I got at Harbor Freight and ft/lb I got at Wallyworld. Work in a machine shop so had them checked out just to see and surprisingly the inch/lb was dead on and the ft/lb was off about 5lb at 100.
