Getting ready to do a H/C swap and would like to replace my old Craftsman torque wrench. Has anyone had any expereance with either the Titan or Summit torque wrenches? In the tool section: http://store.summitracing.com/

Thanks

I would argue that repeatability is a lot more important in actual use then accuracy. I have a few SK, Precision Instruments and similar $$$ ones floating around and after dialing it in with rig using a digital scale I ended up quite happy with my Cheepie, $9 HF ½” drive one and use that more then the rest (and actually, it was very close to accurate out of the box, I was surprised that it compared well to a couple of $200 torque wrenches that I have). If you’re really worried about accuracy, the only great way to go is a good beam type.

As far as the ones that you listed I don’t have any experience, but I’ve never been really thrilled with any of the ones that have plastic handles…

Snap-On, that's the only way to go. Yeah, it's expensive but it's worth it!!

I have a pair of Armstrong torque wrenches from Enco (see http://www.armstrongtools.com and http://www.use-enco.com ). I like 'em. Made in USA, nice construction.

FWIW, i read a torque wrench test recently from a precision measurement lab, they tested i believe 7 torque wrench from 7 manufacturers, ranging from the best most expensive name brand to Tiawan jobs from auto parts stores....the overall winner was Husky brand from Home Depot

I have:
Snap-On digital flex heads in 1/2 and 3/8ths
Husky 1/2in for torquing lugs
Craftsman 1/2 and 3/8ths that I had from awhile ago.

My Snap-On TQ wrenches get tested every 6months and haven't been off more than 2% since I bought them (within Snap-On spec)

The Craftsman wrenches are just fine for most people.

The Husky is OK, I like the operation of the Craftsman better.It's been dropped so I only use it for lugs now.

I like the Snap-On wrenches FAR better than the others.They beep and vibrate when commanded TQ is reached and they display the TQ actually applied.They also switch between ft-lb,in-lb,and NW-M with the push of a button.They are more than $300 a piece. I use them everyday and they are worth the money to me.

I just bought this one
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog
does torque angle, counts the degrees while you swing the ratchet
much quicker than a degree wheel and better than an electronic torque angle gauge

I just bought the same one but without the angle feature. I would have bought that one to do angle torque had I known they were making it. I'll have to check it out.

I hit autozone for an open box great neck torque wrench for $25. Three engines in two cars and a couple different suspension setups haven't blown up yet.
