I've been looking at the Precision Instrument website and it seems that my choices are very slim, either very small or very large. I'd like to have a wrench that I can use for my rebuild and still be able to use it for larger stuff. Is there a wrench out there that covers such broad range? I don't want to buy from Sears anymore and I'd like to buy something that is rahter accurate and durable. Precision made the Snap-On wrench for many years and I feel are still better for a whole lot less. Am I stuck having to buy two wrenches?

Augh! one of those cheapies cause my MGB to blow a head gasket. After the head gasket blew I tested it against my neighbor's high end torque wrench.. it was only torquing to about half of what it was set to. I now use it as a breaker bar (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I replaced it with a craftsman that I haven't had any troubles with. The guy at sears said I could exchange it just like any other craftsman tool.. haven't tried to do it yet though. |
