Hello friends.
As title states, I'm looking for a recommendation on a digital torque wrench for working on my 914 (must go as low as 9 FT-LBs for the oil strainer). I see a lot of options out there via Google searching and the prices are all over the map. I know this community knows their tools, so I trust your recommendations on an accurate, reliable, affordable digital torque wrench. |

"accurate, reliable, affordable"
These may not be possible together. And especially over a broad range. One of my first serious tool upgrades was a pair of Snap-on torque wrenches. I had some cheap thing before that, and soon realized I did not get repeatable numbers. I then realized that if a fastener needed precision tightening, the tool also needed precision. The Snap-on wrenches has served me well, and have been easy to get calibrated (and certified). BTW, while I like digital readouts for some tools, I prefer old-fashioned clicks for torque wrenches. |
