Thats what I am trying to find. The best one for the money. I want one that will last years, not days. I really enjoy working on my truck and want to be able to do more things to it.

Torque wrenches, cheap and quality are not in the same book together. If you want one to last save up and buy a quality one. Craftsman or snapon or the like all carry warranties and are certified.
The differences in cheap brands is they are not as advisers and in the lone run costs you more.

Don't go with a cheap Torque Wrench you will pay for it in the end!! I was doing a top end job on my KTM 200 2-stroke about a year ago and bought the El Cheapo Torque wrench from Autozone and was tightening my cylinder head bolts and couldnt figure out why it was taking so long to get to the right ft/lbs..... suddenly SNAP!!!!!! SON OF A !!!!!

So just chip out the extra change on one that will last you forever!! Trust me you don't want to hear that snap! You'll want to just throw up when you hear that . Luckily i was able drill and hammer a star shaped screw bit into the bolt and amazingly pull it out!!!!!!
