Torque Wrenches - my answer... (holy smokes!)

[Paul Meyers]

I have tried to stay out of this awesome (or awful, depending on you
persuasion) technical debate, but thought I'd interject that I bought a 300
ft-lb 3/4" torque wrench for $60 and a nifty set of 3/4" impact sockets for
$35 at Harbor Freight tools. While I can't set it to 332 ft-lbs, it does go
to within about 10% of there (with maybe a little extra nudge for
insurance).

Speaking of Yankee frugality, I "rented"all the tools from a fellow lister
(except for the 3/4" torque wrench and breaker bar).  Others (locally) have
borrowed my 3/4" torque wrench and breaker bar.  After all, how often do you
need to use a 3/4" torque wrench.
