Used snap on off craigslist. I scored one supposedly never used for less than half the money. It looked the part. Dont think it was hot, guy seemed legit. Just have it checked and youre all set.


I want my fair share

As a kid, I was told that any torque wrench was at it's most accurate in the center 2/3rd of its range. This has never let me down so I have a beam and a clicker in each size. The click type I take to school for checking every year. No difference between the $350 Snap-on and the $20 HF. I like the ability to calibrate the beam type on the fly.


It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

I would never trust a HF as a stand alone torque wrench. I found it interesting that the accuracy of the HF was as close as it was.

http://www.harborfreight.com/12-in-drive-digital-torque-adapter-68283.html i bought the pittsburhg torque adaptor from harbor freight to test my new torque wrench and it was off abit. so i grab my old craftsmen and check it. its dead on at most settings. so i adjusted the new wrench according to the adaptor. check out you tube, seems to be very accurate. $30 and you may be able to recalibrate your old wrench and save a few bucks.

Thanks for all of the replies, very helpful, yes the digital adaptor has me interested, might get that & a new clicker type, I don't buy cheap, buying again later isn't saving money
