Luther, Any style torque wrench will give you accurate results, its all a matter of preference. Most of the old school guys prefer the beam style, but most of the newer dial and click style are very accurate. As for brand, I was never fond of the Snap-On just because its way over priced. You can find just as good quality in a Proto, Craftsman or even a Mac.
