I saw some torque wrenches at sears for sale at a good price. I have this
one (Item number 00944594000 ) which works pretty well for me.

you need one that has at least 150ft.lbs. if your going to bo doing alot of diy, but if its good enough for you at least it has a lifetime warranty

you can still use it for those small bolts, but not the really big ones that take alot of back to break.you can pick a decent one up from autozone thats the click type for like $20, thats what i did

This wrench is great for spark plugs. I bought the same one @ full price last year because my 150lb wrench would only come down to 30lbs.

There are others on sale as well like this 20-150 lb.ft.

10-75 lbs/ft. is kinda weak for wheel lug nuts. I got a Husky 150 lbs/ft. from Home Depot for $68.

Check the spec carefully, that 20-150 lbs/ft. Crapsman is a 1/2" driver, not 3/8". Unless you have both sets of 1/2" and 3/8" of course. Frankly I like Husky over Crapsman, feels more solid.

For spark plugs, use something more precise - lbs-inches. I have a no-name lbs-inches torque wrench. Used it for my last car. I think it was $35 or something.

I don't see either as being on sale when I clicked the links. Did the sale end already? Thanks.

I went to Home Depot and picked up Husky's small 3/8" and big one 1/2". They were like $68 each. I've needed torque wrenches for years....so I just did it.

Now I guess I need a manual to tell me what the specs are for my car......

.... Please Remember - ALWAYS turn down the torque setting to it's lowest setting when returning it to storage. Failure to do so will cause the tool to fall out of calibration. This is a good post!

Thanks for the info.
