nick1234 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Looking to purchase some torque wrenches. Many to choose from. I would appreciate any opinions on brands. Thank you Link to comment
LIRider Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I have a couple of CDI split-beam wrenches (3/8" & 1/2") and one of their digital 1/4" wrenches too. They are very nice but aren't exactly inexpensive. Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's been discussed many times, and honestly.....coming from 25+ years of turning wrenches on things and using everything from generic crap to premium brands like Snap On. For the value, I hate to say it, but you can't do better than Harbor Freight for torque wrenches. It's different if you are earning a paycheck off of them, but if you are using them once or twice a month....they really do fit the bill. I've tested mine for accuracy before big projects over the years and they have always been spot on. I did have one 3/8” one fail on me after about 20yrs of use, I bought another to replace it and I'm still happy. They have done everything for me from simple tire changes, to transmission rebuilds, to rebuilding the tops of motors. I could have spent more money, but it would have been wasted. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 For me I kind of agree. I have 2 Husky (Home Depot) torque wrenches, click type and for my needs they work just fine. I suspect you can spend more but I have never had an issue with mine. Link to comment
