Snap on torque wrench

So I just spent the most money I've ever spent on a single tool.


Here is a link to the actual tool on snapon

Re: Snap on torque wrench

Good lord that is expensive. Ive never spent more that $30 on a single tool. The most expensive one I have is my Craftsman low range torque wrench but it was a gift. Still only around $70 i think But I have only been arquiring tools for a year or so

Re: Snap on torque wrench

Does an air compressor count? How about some of the big elaborate devices needed for some automotive work? Engine machining items? Or are we talking just hand tools?

Why did it have to be snap on, cause that is DAMN EXPENSIVE.

For that money, you could buy a lot more than a handjob from a lot more than one prostitute.

Re: Snap on torque wrench

My QD SnapOn torque wrench was by far my most expensive single hand tool also, around $260 or so.

Re: Snap on torque wrench

those are the nice torque wrenches. at work, we use the standard ones. those digital ones are pretty snazzy. i believe they vibrate when you hit the torque value.

So if that's the case it's more like a hummer than a handjob

That one but in 1/2"


Jet,
They are nice because when you are doing head gaskets and TTY bolts that need to be torqued and then turned a certain amount of degrees, that wrench will do both. Istead of having to switch to a second tool.

Damn even the torque wrenches we use in Manufacturing don't cost that much and they get calibrated every 6 months .
