I bought a Sears Craftsman beam-type 0 =E2=80=93 140 lb-ft torque wrench =
(model 44642) in 1999 specifically to torque the head nuts on my BJ8. =
Since then I have used it for lots of things. I have the click-type =
torque wrenches for jobs requiring less torque and where the beam-type =
won=E2=80=99t fit.

The concensus so far of the list is to just buy th he cheapest torque =
wrench I can find. I have had suggestions like Harbor Freight (yuck) and =
Craftsman. First of all, Harbor Freight is the LAST place I would buy a =
precision calibrated tool. I have a Craftsman torque Wrench. The last =
time I used it, the ratchet mechanism in the head exploded and fell out =
of the wrench. I won't be going back to Sears for another one. I was =
hoping for suggestions on a quality wrench I could count on for =
precision and long life. Maybe the last torque Wrench I will have to =
buy. I would think you guys would want your head nuts torqued with a =
little more precision and consistency. Am I assigning too much =
importance to the torque values of a heart that is known to crack in the =
middle for no reason.
