opinion asked of what torque wrench used: I use 2 Snap-On models. One is the click-type in 1/2" drive. Very nice, beautiful finish that is easy to keep clean, complete feel of quality. It was a birthday gift from my father and is one of those gifts very dear to me (the guy gets sentimental over a tool? -- darn right!). If you get the click type, always store it with the torque cranked down to the lowest setting to maintain accuracy. The second on is a cool little in 3/8" drive that measures in inch-pounds on a dial. Surprisingly, I use this one quite a bit and is great for evenly torqueing small, machined covers etc. This one is on "loan" from aforementioned Dad... wonder if he remembers I have it...
