Which torque wrench screwdiver?

[FEENIX]

For $50 or less. I have it down between the Wheeler ...

or the Weaver ...

The Weaver is ~ $3-$5 more and comes in a hard case.

Pleas advise. Thanks.

I like my FAT wrench, but have never tried the Weaver, So I can't compare.

The FAT has positive detents in about 1/2 inch/lb increments.

I have the wheeler and like it .but Manson reamers sells the Weaver so it must be good.

Ether one should be good.

Snap On makes the best low range torque wrences, but also very expensive! Sears sells a screw driver type that has a large dial on it. Looks just like the Snap On, and carries the same accuracey rating (5%). I found one on Ebay a few years ago for $60 delivered! Took it to work to have the readings checked, and it was within one inch-pound all the way thru the scale. The dial is much better than the ones that break over unless it's a specialized beam type that only Snap On sold (real expensive). I'd be shopping Ebay for a good one.

I have a Snap-On, it's adjustable from 5-40in/lb IIRC. Hell yes I was willing to pay ~$200 for a reliable, repeatable torque driver. You know what "they" say: "Buy once, cry once".

I just saw that too ... apparently, it was one of the primary complaints/cons feedback and that Wheeler listened and delivered.

Thank you all.

Thank you all for the advice/recommendations ... just letting you know I settled for the Wheeler FAT.

On my initial assessment, it seems that all previous cons has been corrected and meets my expectations and current needs.

Thanks again.

Quality of hand tools made is Taiwan is ALWAYS better than made in China.

Hey Boris. Thanks, that's where I came from after bouncing around from your previous link. I also watched Dave Manson's (Dave Manson Precision Reamers) vid and like the product. Now just need to get the wife to loose her death grip on the finances a little.

Hey, good luck with "loosening the wife grip on finances"...
