Any local auto part store will have them. I think even Walmart might carry them. The price may vary from $30 (no name) to $90 (Craftsman). Choice is yours.

You'll find that the click type is easier to use, especially if you've never used one before. Probably 75 bucks or less for a Craftsman at Sears.

I think mine was $50 from Advanced Auto and yes definitely want the "clicking" type. Make sure it reads foot pounds. If you plan on doing many mods probably not a bad tool to go ahead and buy rather than renting.
