We have a saying at work,"if you barrow a tool once its time to buy your own."
I had to barrow a torque wrench 10 times this week at work.Sadly this is one of the few things i dont have.
Any suggestions for a good quality one at a fair price.(1/2" drive)

The tool mankoolkar should be along some-time.
I would suggest spending a little extra for quality and it will have a better resale value as well if you ever find you don`t use it anymore frown .


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

SnapOn makes good ones that you can't afford. Usually you can find a decent Proto or SK at the pawn shops. The Kobalt line of tools that Lowes carries is made by SnapOn. They show a 1/2" for $115. Lowes web page
Keep away from the oriental imports, they won't last in your line of work.
