Torque wrench recommendations
Hi,
Well, I'm getting religion, and I thought that I'd get a torque wrench to use on my lug nuts. I also have some small engine stuff and a lifetime project car to use it on.
I thought that a beam type would be OK, especially since they are supposed to stay in cal. I looked at Sears, and the only reasonably priced one was a clicker that everyone rated as junk.
Any thoughts? I know that a clicker is more convenient, but I have an inch pound beam type, and it seems to work OK.
Thanks,

for occasional home use, go with the beam-type Craftsman, 1/2" drive, ft/lb model....if you are trying to earn a living with it, go with the Snap-on clicker type.
even if you're a pro, the beam-type from Craftsman is fine for occasional use- I still have one in my box at work

Thanks,
I went back to sears and used beam with the search and it showed up.
When I just searched on torque wrench earlier I didn't see this wrench, and I thought that maybe they had discontinued it.
Looks like a good deal for what I need.
