I started looking for a torque wrench to purchase and I'm finding mixed reviews on just about all of them. Does anyone have one they are using that is accurate and durable?

Snap-on would be top of the line and only ones I have in my Shop. I own Engine Rebuilding Business and correct Torque is critical. For home use it might be on the expensive side though. Mac or Proto are good names. Maybe Craftsman or S&K would be lowest end I would trust for home use.

I prefer Snap-on. They will test the torque calibration for free on the truck. Sometimes the service is worth the extra cost.

For home use go with craftsman that way you have lifetime warranty. Make sure its going to do the correct specks like the exhaust bolts i know the get done at 14lbs not sure what the highest one is.

If your using one for a buisness then spend the extra money. But if you only use one once in a blue moon like I do then the ones at Harbor Freight are the best for the price. Thats where I bought mine and have never had a problem.

This is all you need for a bike. It's 3/8 drive for the tighter places... it is adjustable from 10-80 foot pounds... and is very inexpensive.

Neiko 03705A Adjustable Torque Wrench -3/8"Dr. 120-960 inch-pound

I also picked up a Torque Driver for doing the clutches ... much easier the a bulky long torque wrench,

I am a true believer in high end tools... such as Matco and Snap-on... but for things like torque wrenches that the average user only uses 2 times a year... cost prohibited.
