[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3038364, member: 93138"] This post should be stickied somewhere. I've mentioned my doubts about the FAT wrenches in the past, but lacked any numbers to go for a conviction. When the cost of a commercial/industrial use torque wrench is several to many times what the FAT wrench's cost it ought to be a warning sign. I would buy one of these before I bought a FAT wrench: [URL]https://www.mcmaster.com/7181A22/[/URL] but at ±7% even it's accuracy isn't all that great. If you really need accurate then you need something like this: [URL]https://www.mcmaster.com/5358A44/[/URL] I'll mention my preference for beam type torque wrenches over clickers or pretty much anything else. This is because they are user caibratable and are easy to see when out of calibration. You can't change their accuracy, but you can change their Zero. [Note that I'm using McMaster for the easy links, not necessarily recommending them as the lowest priced vendor.] [/QUOTE]
