Ok, I have spent a small fortune getting my toolbox in order and am down to a few more essentials. One of these would be a torque wrench. Sears has a couple of nice models, or so I think. One model is about $60, is called "microtork" and has the release type setting. It is accurate to within 4%. The other one is also at Sears. They call it "digitork". It is about $90, has a ball release system that claims to be more durable or accurate. It is accurate to within 3%, needs adjustment less often, etc. Both are 1/2" drive. The more expensive one has a nicer finish and a slimmer head design. I am not afraid to spend the money (there is little hope of looking back now) on the nicer one, unless it would be a huge waste. So, what do you all use and what do you recommend? Is there some other I should be considering? Thanks, Jim PS Sorry to hear about your bug Ric. Bummer of a way to go. -- James A.
