I think the welders they sell are Lincoln....not sure tho, I'll look next time I'm in one. As far as the torque wrenches, I'm almost certain they make them, they just don't warrant them or people would break them & swap them instead of having them recalibrated every so often as they should be.

Glad I didn't buy one....for $59 I got a long handled Husky from Home Depot with a warranty, excluding re-calibration. So far it seems to be a solid trq wrench for the money & the adjustment dial seems very solid & well built. You guys may want to check it out if you are on a budget & need a decent 1/2. They sell other sizes as well. I also found a really cool ratchet there that you just twist the handle on & it turns I'll post up about it in a new thread.
