- I bought a 10-100 lb 3/8" drive SK torque wrench at toolwareouse.net which I find good for headbolts and most of the torquing on any car I won. I also have a 1/2" torque wrench that goes up to 150# t

- This sounds like the "clicker" type, which I have. Does anyone have any experience with the type with the needle and scale ? which is more accurate? Durable? Ah, talkin' cars and wrenches again...

- The snap-on website says that their torque wrenches are accurate +/- 4 % as long as you're not reading in the 20% or less of the scale http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/OBJECTS/29000/28910.PDF I read th

- Go with the beam torque wrench for engine rebuild. I do use a "clicker" for lug nuts, just easier to "feel" but I hate using it on a engine rebuild. Many moons ago I built a simple "calibrator". Noth

- I find the clicker types more practically accurate than the needle and I say practically, because the clicker type is a no brainer, just set the dial and stop torquing when it clicks. The needle type

- There's a place in Ohio that will recalibrate the clicker torque wrenches. I had a Proto recalibrated a few years back that I bought cheap at a garage sale. They also disassemble it to check for worn

- I have at least 2 of each, beam and click. I also made an adapter to hook tow wrenches together to see if they red the same. That way I can use the beam wrench (accurate) to check the calibration of
