Re: [MBZ] HF click torque wrenches
The Harbor Freight "Icon" torque wrenches have tested well vs. Snap-on. They are also substantially more expensive than their "Pittsburgh" wrenches. I don't see any at HF that are in the in. lbs. range though, in any brand. Allan dan--- via Mercedes writes: > Don’t buy a HF inch pound torque wrench. I don’t like the way they click (or > don’t).

Re: [MBZ] HF click torque wrenches
Don’t buy a HF inch pound torque wrench. I don’t like the way they click (or don’t). The click doesn’t seem to be very positive.
