Default What torque wrench to buy?

I need a torque wrench that will go down to 7.2 lbs for the 10mm bolts on the cam journles.

I want shopping yesterday and found a craftsmen that goes down to 5 lbs but it is pretty spendy. What peice are you guys using?

I got a Pittsburgh torque wrench. It's range is from 0-80ft-lbs. It really isn't the best quality, but it gets the job done. I'm thinking of "investing" in a Snap-On one. Just to give me that piece of mind.

snap on or craftsman, but be sure to get the micro adjust one ( the one that twists to dial up the right amount)

Get a Snap on. It's pricey but it's worth the money.

Craftsman if you want to spend the extra money snap on. But both are good.

Kobalt-all of thier tools are made by the same company that makes snap-on and they are a little cheaper than snapon
