I need to get a 1/2" torque wrench and was looking for some opinions. I have noticed that some go up to 150 ft/lb while others go up to 250 ft lb.

1) Is there anything on an f-body that would require any where close to 150? (I understand that they become less accurate as you approach the limits)

2) What are you opinions on husky vs craftsman? Would you even consider getting one of the Made in China cheapies?

Thanks,

I had a Craftsman, the adjuster nut finally came loose and the handle came off (and it is now out of calibration).

I had this exact same thing happen to my craftsman unit after several years of service. I ended up sending it in through the repair department, cost almost as much as a new one.
I too use a cheapo ($10 harbor freight) unit to torque my wheels at the track, I don't even bother to take it out of the truck. I leave my nice one at home.
