I'm looking for a torque wrench that is affordable and accurate. I was browsing through harbor freight and saw this thing:

Thats an adapter I wouldn't suggest that, but I do actually have 2 types of Torque wrenches from Harbour Freight the 3/8 and 3/4" drives and they work great. I have torqued timing belt tensioners, camshafts, waterpumps and have had no issues. They are within +- 3 so that is acceptable for me.

Most reviews suggest its use as a calibration tool more than what it's sold as (universal torque wrench kind of thing is what they're trying to market it as). Most people use it to check their torque wrenches to see if they're still precise. Doesn't sound like a bad tool to have before doing a delicate job like head bolts/studs, crank mains, rod caps, flywheel bolts etc. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
