Default need to buy a in/lb torque wrench...

... Would like to get a good IN/LB Torque wrench. Any suggestions on a good quality wrench and where to buy it? Trying to stay away from buying online. Thanks,

Harbor freight, but I don't really use my in/lb anymore...just divide by 12 & use ft/lb. Most go as low as 10 ft/lb which covers most things you torque super tight. Anything less is hand tight anyway...

+1 for Craftsman. Snap-On are great tools but if you are not a pro they cost so too damn much.

I agree. I've had mine for a couple of years and they work great.

I got the local Snap-On dealer number from the HD dealer. Call and will meet on his route. Can buy Snap-On direct, on line. The small stuff ships free. I used to ambush the Snap-On truck at the local Chevrolet dealer in Washington State. I was usually the first guy on the truck. Expensive of course, but real pleasure to use. 90% of my hand tools are craftsman, rest factory tools or Snap-On.

If I remember correctly I think Craftsman Torque wrenchs are one Craftsman tool that does not have a life time guarantee.
I think one reason is some people forget to "zero" them out when they're done using them, throw them in a drawer and then wonder why they don't work right again.
