Torque Wrench
Any recommendations on a torque wrench? I'm going to be buying a 3/8" lb/in torque wrench and was looking at the craftsman clicker unit. We got that one for my dad a few years ago and it is a nice unit but I just thought I'd see what everyone else likes.

They're not bad, I haven't run into a whole lot of use for that small of a clicker though. What I have run into is a lot of use of a beam-style in the inch-lb range for setting up steering systems, differentials, etc.

Their is nothing wrong with in-lb clickers. We use them at work all the time as they are much more accurate than the beam style. Personally, I prefer the dial face wrenches. Especially when building axles. Clicker are no good in that application, and the beam style looses its accuracy too eaily.
