Good 3/8" Short Torque Wrench

**boxtwo** · 10-25-2007, 05:01 AM

Looking for a 3/8" torque wrench. Something that doesn't cost me a mint, but isn't going to melt when it rains. My other torque wrench is a Craftsman, but the 3/8 doesn't have very good reviews. Thoughts? Thanks!

hey man, I have a sweet SK tools clicker style torque wrench in 3/8" drive.
It's still new, seeing as how I accidentally ordered the wrong model. It comes in a nice new blow molded case. Check it out on SK's website:

http://www.skhandtool.com/Default.as...e=10&pid=74026

I'm pretty sure it's model 74026 (it's scale reads from 25-250 in.-lbs, but I'm pretty sure there is a chart in the instructions to easily convert from in.-lbs to ft.-lbs.)

Oh, almost forgot - this wrench retails for $160 as seen os SK's website- I'll let you have it for $95 shipped. These are very high quality tools

Lets work out a deal

Thanks,
Nabeel

Unfortunately, I already got one from Sears. From what I hear though, it'll break in 4 months, so when I need another one, I'll let you know! Thanks for the offer!

haha if you didn't get the digitork with a rubber handle yeah you will break it. I broke mine the frist bolt I torqued.

anything but a craftsman will do just fine. And you may as well just get a 1/2 in for working on your car.

I'm still looking for a good ~$100 1/2" tq wrench.. yet to find one, so I'll use my beam wrench until then.

I have a 1/2" now, but the setting does not go low enough for some of the bolts I'd like to have done to spec (e.g. shifter install.)
