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. |

Digital tools are the WORST.
You need them every now and again. The battery is always dead, and a 1/2 dead batter does not give an accurate reading. You never ever have the right size battery on hand, and you have to go find the little button size or order them online. F*CK THAT. Got rid of all the stupid digital readout stuff. Give me clicks and dials. No way do I try dealing with digital tools anymore. Zach |
