I got mine from Snap On (the TA360).

I've seen them at AutoZone as well.

Home Depot is where I got mine. I'd say any big hardware type place would have them.

Auto zone it is cheep but it did the job. Today I saw a snap on tourque wrench that was digital and vibrated and beeped when torque spec was reeached, then you set the angel and it did the same.... Some guys have all the tools. LOL!!!!!!!!!

I use the Snap-on Techangle wrench because the angle gauge is such a pain sometimes. If it is an angle like 90 deg or something like that I have in the past just mark the bolt heads and turn by eye.

Hint: Always mark your bolt heads when using a TTY bolt. If you were to miss one or get interrupted in the middle of your stretch procedure you could be SOL!
