I've been looking to replace my harbor freight torque wrenches with something that was...lets just say more reliable. So I wanted a digital wrench but did not want to spend a bajillion dollars on one either. So thats when I came across this

http://www.brownlinemetalworks.com/


I got if for 99$ shipped with the case as well. Ordered it a few days again and it finally got here today. All i can say is wow! For 99$ its an awesome deal. I tried it out on an old engine block i had and it worked flawlessly. Not to bad if you ask me. The 99$ deal only last's until the 20th so u need to hurry if you want one. Just used the coupon code: zilvia

I know that's a forbidden name on NICO but its the best coupon i could find so there you go.lol

Just thought id pass on the deal i got before it ran out.

Why not pick up a needle gauge torque wrench?

Spend the money for precision torque instruments. Unless you like redo'ing your work a lot and ruining parts.

Cheap TQ wrench = inconsistency.

Craftsmen has some alright TQ wrenches. I think they are 2 to 8% accuracy depending on how much you feel like spending.

I have a Snap-On 1/2" drive for 20-200ftlbs. Paid $350 and they calibrate it for me for free once a year.
