How to Choose A Torque Wrench?
I'm looking to buy a torque wrench, something mid-range. I've read around that snap-on or MAC are the best, but I don't want to spend $200+. I have a budget of around $100. Can someone recommend a decent one?

dito... get a good name wrench the first time and know its good! just be sure ya buy the right one... pounds per FOOT or INCH. best to have both. larger 1/2inch FOOT lbs and a 3/8 INCH lbs.
id like to have one of the nice electronic ones... BUT ive been sticken with the cheaper needle type.

i picked up an AmPro 1/2" 10-150 FT-LBS tq wrench from Adavanced Auto on sale for like $30. been using it for over a year or so and i use it A LOT, esp on my lug nuts since i swap wheels from racing a sh*t ton. if i can find tq specs, i'll use it each and every time...the sound of the wrench clicking is quite satisfying to me. i like the feeling of knowing a bolt is very unlikely to fail under stress because its tq correctly. its def one of my favorite tools.
