Default Which tools?

Hi!

I need a torquewrench, maybe two, one in 1/2" and the small one, cant remember. 1/4 maybe?

Anyways - I need it for work on my B16, and the rest of my car. Which brand do you recommend - or specific parts that I should get?

I've looked at Craftsman and SnapOn - but both has several models that seem to do the same thing. I want whats best for my kind of work

Thank you!

get snap-on. you can always get your tools professionally calibrated and tuned on a regular basis. the kids working @ sears in your local mall dont even know the difference between a flathead or phillips screwdriver. as for torque wrench size, for anything under 100 ft lbs, 3/8" drive is good.

For most jobs, I would recommend the cheap Harbor Freight clicker torque wrench for 10-20 bucks.

For building a motor, I would def. recommend the one I used on my motors: the Craftsman 1/2" parallel-beam torque wrench. It is more accurate than a clicker wrench, and it's lasted me 3 motors so far and still going strong.
