anyone have an opinion on torque wrenches?
Looking for an inexpensive torque wrench up 100ft lbs kinda thing. And there is a million of them on Amazon.
Im wondering if anyone has a recommendation? Im definitely not pro enough to need a high end one, but I also don't want to buy one that is grossly inaccurate (if there are such things) the less expensive ones seem to be around $30 for a 1/2 drive 10-120ft lb on amazon. A few brands I found Nebicals Lexivon EPAuto |

With torque wrenches, you do get what you pay for. $30 for a 1/2-inch drive, with only 120ft-lb max sounds way cheap (a 1/2" drive should go up to 250ft-lb), and you must spring for 1/2-inch sockets. A decent 3/8" (20-100ft-lb) drive should be around $85 and a decent 1/2" (50-250ft=lb) is about $130.
If it is that important to have an accurate reading, do you really want to second guess?

Plus one on the Lexivon. Solid budget buy.
Also have this which has been sold for lug bolts and fasteners that have lower torque like the trans pan. https://a.co/d/472KVMX |
