$100 over 17 years is reasonable as far as I'm concerned so I don't mind getting another Craftsman. I'd just like to hear if folks have a favorite brand of 1/2" click type torque wrench for around the same money.

I have the Griot catalog. $180 for a torque wrench is a little high if I can get a Craftsman for $100. I also prefer the distinct numbers in windows over a vernier scale.

Thanks,

Send me your address and after the Easter hubbub, I'll send you one of my spares gratis, just pay for shipping. I used to have a TW calibration business for the local precision tool dealer. Still have and rarely use the equipment.

At the MoPar National Swap meet in January I sold about a dozen for 75-100 depending on drive size- 1/2 vs 3/4"

I'd rather see them used than sit there.

If you REALLY want a Craftsman, I'll look in the inventory. Most of these are CDI, which is the Industrial arm of Snap-On.

Let me know.
