Torque Wrench.

[bigredhead]

Decided i'm going to buy one.. went on e-bay but there are a ton of them and at all different price ranges.

Can anyone who knows about these make a suggestion ?

What range should i get and for use on the trike, any details i should know about ?

pls and thanks.

Dont go for some off brand cheap-o IMO. Its a precision instrument so expect to pay a few $$ for it. I got a craftsman one for like $70 that goes to around 75 ft lbs of torque, but some of the bolts on my trike need to be above that setting so I give em a tad more twist with a standard wrench & that's kinda iffy... so ya might want to make sure you get one that covers the range of settings you need. Bottom Line = Don't Get Torqued OFF :p

as AZ250r said dont go cheapo on the wrench..i myself would get a nice snap on 3/8 drive...yes there pricey but well worth the money :D and it should cover everything on a trike..

just make sure the torque spec's go as low and as high you need. A lot of the torque wrenches only read as low as 25 to 30 ft. pounds.

yeah . i'd love to get a snap-on but man.. 150 $ for a tool i'll only use once in a while is a bit harsh.

I understand tho.. heck, i just paid 600 $ for a Ridgid table saw, a good quality tool lasts a lifetime.

However. anyone ever use these Dr.Micro 10 to 150 range with success? is what i was looking to know !
