Default Torque Wrench

I'm in the market for a good torque wrench. Just wondering what is a good quality one and what size should I be looking for? What are your opinions?

Thanks

if you have the money get a snap-on one. If you need something cheaper but still good get craftman. You should get a 20-100 ftib that will cover most of the torq you need. If you can you should get an inch pound one to and that will cover your smaller torq needs. this is what I use http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog...l=all it does ftbl & inch pounds it's worth the money

This one is cool for tires if you are bored, have money, and like new toys.

Other then that it depends on how often you are under the hood and what your budget is. Pros use expensive ones cause they use them all the time. I borrow my dads cheap one once every 6 months.

Mastercraft is cheap and if you break it just run on down to where you bought it and you get a shiny new one.
Don't know about the warrenty on the Snap-On wrench, but I will say this. If you use it for a long period of time the snap-on wrench will definitely hurt your hand less.
Mastercraft is good for the hobbyist mechanic. But if its your career get snap-on, you wont regret it
