Many thanks.

I went to the Sears Torque wrench link on the above post. After reading some of the reviews on them I would not purchase one. Several of the posts say that the locking rings that hold the adjustable handles on break or fail, rendering it useless. Also, it has only a one year warranty.
I don't mean to stomp on your post, just my observation. I will likely get one that has better reviews for more longevity.
I actually have the digi-torque model but any torque wrench is better than German Torque!! My point is people should use them and i have had no problems at all with mine and would and will buy the 3/8 drive one this PM!
Just like doing things the recomended way and after 32 years turning wrenches ya get used to doing it the rite way! Aircraft mechanic and auto mechanic and just feel better when ya do a job the way it was supposed to be done, especially if you or your family depends on the quality of the work!
