hey guys, i am in the market for a new torque wrench and want to see some recommendations. i really dont want to spend more than 400.

somethings i want in it:

 

-digital

-1/2 drive

-switch between in lbs, ft lbs and nm

-needs to have angle measurement

-400 dollars or less

 

i have seen a couple on sears website and i just saw the snap on one that looks pretty cool

 

this is the one from sears http://www.sears.com/digitool-solutions-digitool-solutions-sdts-250f-torque-wrench/p-00934074000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 i cant find any reviews on it and it seems a but cheaper than the rest

 

any recommendations will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have the Snap-on Torque-Angle wrench, which works fantastic, but it's a little higher then your price range. Used some other tech's KD Tools (Gearwrench) version and it worked just as well.

 

i am seeing a couple of the snap on ones on ebay in the 300 range

I have one and we put it on the calibration checker. The dam thing was more accurate than my Snap-on model!! However, for heavy duty use I don't know how well it would hold up. Though I guess if you have the means to check it, at the price it would be worth it to toss and get a new one when it strays too far.
