Torque Wrenches? Right now I am torn between two torque wrenches. I would like to buy both of them but I can't afford it. So I'm going to have to choose one of them. 
Anyone have any kind of advice on which one I should go with?
3/8 in Torque wrench
5-100 ft LBS
1/2 in torque wrench
12.5-250 ft lbs

Man, those are really nice, but i can't get past prices on them!
IMO, if you don't need for your profession, then no need to ever spend over $200 on a TQ wrench. Proto makes some good ones for a lot less.

Save yourself some money and get both from Harbor Freight. If you search here you'll find that their accuracy is quite good especially considering the price compared to others.
