WTB: Torque Wrench

[stinky_180]

Im currently looking for a Torque wrench. 3/8 or 1/2. I would prefer a 3/8 but will consider 1/2. Min Torque Over 40 and max ~500. i would prefer local pick-up but will also consider shipping. the torque wrench must be click-type and not manual. Torque wrench must be in perfect working order and not damaged (not dropped, tampered with, etc)

Also looking for a ball joint fork, 3/8 breaker bar (any length, not overkill though).

please pm me! thank you

Did you not want to buy one brand new? Torque wrenches go bad after a couple years or so, depending on how often its been used. If you are looking for one to get the job done, you can get a craftsman or a husky. Both are click type.

Torque wrenches slip in their calibration over use, your best bet would be to get one that has the papers to show that it has been properly calibrated, or go up to sears and get yourself a new one, seriously

yea that is what i was thinking. i was going to go on ebay, but i dont think i trust ebay torque wrenches with engine internals... have you guys heard any good things about harbor freight torque wrenchs?

If this is for internal engine parts, you should really use some accurate tools. Harbor freight carries general stuff, to get "the job done." If you want some really accurate stuff look into a split beam torque wrench.

autozone rents ball joint (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=144380#) forks out for 10 bucks then u get it back
when u take the tool back. I got one for $13 from sears so if sumthing
happens to it i get another for free

If you spend a lil and get a Proto Tool tq wrench (thats what i have). You can send it out to them each year and get it recalibrated.
