[s-cars] Source for torque wrench?

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

I bought a Harbor Freight 1/2 drive torque wrench several years ago when my 
Craftsman fell apart. 
 
It's been great and seems much more solid than the Craftsman being all metal. 
Best part was it cost $9.99. It's the same one they sell for $19.99 now. 
Gotta love Harbor Freight.

Jim,

I had a Craftsman 1/2" drive torque wrench for about 10 years.  I used it
_very_ lightly and the damn thing fell apart anyway.   The plastic bits
went to shit and the handle split.

Snap-On/MAC/Matco and the like have excellent torque wrenches but they are
quite salty.  I trolled Ebay for a couple weeks and picked up a used MAC
torque wrench (all metal).  It was only $50 as the finish was not perfect
on it.  I fully suspect this will be the last torque wrench I ever have to
buy.

What the heck happened to your old one?  Don't you know that you never,
ever sell any of your tools.  That's just the way it is...
