DON... I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH YOUR PLANNING ON SPENDING, BUT I CAN USUALLY PICK UP SWIVEL HEAD(EITHER 3/8" OR 1/2") SNAP-ON TORQUE WRENCHES FOR WELL UNDER $100 & MAC TOOLS TORQUE WRENCHES FOR UNDER $60, USED AT LOCAL PAWN SHOPS. I HAVE A 3/8" 100 LB & A 1/2" DR. 250 LB SWIVEL HEAD SNAP-ON TORQUE WRENCHES & OFTEN COMPARE THE READINGS ON BOTH TO EACH OTHER. CHEAP TORQUE WRENCHES REQUIRE CALIBRATIONS AT LEAST AS MUCH AS GOOD ONES. HARBOUR FREIGHT HAS THEM FOR $13 OR $14, SO I GUESS IT'S JUST A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERANCE. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO FIND YOU ONE.
