Snap On Techwrench is NEATO!

Bought from ebay for $220 shipped, slightly used.

Mine is a 5-100 ft/lb model but others are available. Digital display instantly switches from NM to Ft/lb and i think also to in/lb.

Are you ready for the cool part? When it hits the torque setting it beeps and vibrates! Yup, that's right baby! Any time you can combine polished steel tools with electronic displays you are in for a fun time!

Oh and it holds the reading of the actual torque applied for a few moments so you can check your work. I am amazed at how EASY it is to overtorque by a significant amount at lower settings, even with the buzzer!

So far only uses have been valve covers and sump/oil tank plugs. And NO DRIPS! Well......except for the quart i spilled after the valve adjust and the refrigerant that ran out of the hose when i cut it to remove it.

Hi Erik,

They are good, I have a couple, but they do need calibrating more often than the none digital type.

The early 3/8 one had some problems with the handle but other then that they are very handy
