My old cheapo beam style torque wrench broke. I think I'm going to replace it with a good micometer one. which do you think I should get; 10 to 75 foot pounds or 25 to 250 foot pounds?

 

how often do you use torque wrenches? lots of different qualities out there depending on how often you use them..harbor freight, sears etc, i bought 2 off of ebay, made in taiwan not china, foot lbs and inch pounds which covers me really well

 

You can even find good used snap-on torque wrenches on ebay for about 1/2 the price of new. You might be able to get one of each off of ebay for the cost of one from a dealer.

 

sears +/- 4%
HF +/- 4%

bought 3 @ HF, 1/2 ftlbs, 3/8 ftlbs, 1/4 inlbs, for < the price of one @ sears
