Harbor freight has one, I have checked it against my buddys Matco and it was right on!
I have this one Buy KD Tools 1/4" Drive Torque Beam Wrench KDT2955 at Advance Auto Parts served my needs quite well
Borka or Snap On
Think I'm going with Borka, thanks guys. Have GG&G rings coming and gonna need it to mount the Manners T4 I'm saving for. New to the Long Range game, don't wanna cut any corners.
CDI makes the torque wrenches for Snap-On, they have a very nice small (1/4" drive) in/lbs torque wrench which I own and love. You can find them online in places like Amazon
I've got a Proto which is very nice because it goes from 10 to 100 inch pounds. Only one wrench needed for my gun bag.
My craftsman goes down to 8 inch pounds, and was 70 bucks, snap ons you will pay 300-400 bucks for the ones I use anyways. Im a diesel mechanic not a gunsmith lol
Utica......buy a used one on ebay. They are a professional grade tool, and well worth the money. The Borka is a great field tool, but I want to be able to set specific torque values and can't do that with the Borka.
I have a Proto 5-40 in lbs torque wrench that I bought for around $107. It was checked and found to be out of spec from the factory. It went back and was fixed. Rechecked and was verified that it was correct by a gauge lab at work. I also own a Snap-on 40-200 in lb torque wrench that was only around $10 more exspensive tham the Proto. The only Snap-On torque wrenches that you will find from Snap-on that are more than that are the digital tech wrenches which I refuse to own on a personal bias. They work I just don't think that a torque wrench should have batteries in them. Craftsman torque wrenches have been banned from my work due to them not holding their calibrated value (they're junk). My torque wrenches go to get checked every 6 months and if they are off they go back to the factory to get fixed on their dime.
Digital fish scale and a 10" breaker bar. 2.9 lbs at 10 inches.
Fat wrench, good for 10-65"lbs.
