Torque wrench

[Cagedvr6]

I need a torque wrench for my ball joint install. I'm looking for something decent that wont kill the bank, as i don't usually need them very often.

Which could you recommend for around $100 or less that goes up to 100ft lbs.

Better yet, who wants to let me borrow one for a day :w00t:

i researched this for a while. The best you're gonna do for the price is the husky's from home depot. I bought a 3/8" and am very happy.

i got the 3/8, but yea i just went to the local home depot and picked one in that style. I seriously researched this to death and it was the best option I could find.

You should be able to get a Craftsman at sears for less than a 100.

I bought a Husky one from HD a few years ago. No problems with it.

Was gonna buy a Craftsman, but the employees were to busy dicking each other around to get one out of the cabinet for me. Went straight to HD and picked one up off the shelf.
