Suggestion
Ours are in daily use year-round, and get banged around as you might expect in a commercial shop environment, yet when tested for accuracy after years of this use, they were all spot on their specs and have not needed recalibration.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello..looking to buy my first Digital torque wrench for my up and coming work on the Boxster,Cam Pad's,IMS up date,Suspension work, Etc,..I have a cheap spring gauge type of wrench,but I know I need a good one,Especially one that is degree capable for the flywheel torque,Any help would be Greatly appreciated,...Iam thinking in the 2-3 hundred dollar range but would also be very accurate.
Thank's ! Frank
I know this will draw criticism, but we have used only Snap On units for many years in the shop (I personally own five different range models). Quality and dependability are top notch, as is service and support if ever needed, which hasn't been the case with us. Ours are in daily use year-round, and get banged around as you might expect in a commercial shop environment, yet when tested for accuracy after years of this use, they were all spot on their specs and have not needed recalibration.
Yes, they cost more, but every time I reach for one, I know it is going to work, and work accurately.
I may get flamed, but Harbor Freight actually has some good ones.
Yes, if I was a pro, maybe not,Id probubly go with snapon but for no-pro use HF is fine. I had my el-cheapo click one from HF checked against my buddies recently calibrated Snap-on one and I was within 1 ftlb.
Hmm,.That's interesting JayG, I also want the accuracy,I will only use it for the Boxster and my 914 and MGB work, if I could find out who makes them for snap-on,Iam sure it would be a tad cheaper..I watched a You-Tube Vid from a site called Project Farm,This guy test all kinds of items..and gave Snap-on the highest rating ( cant remember the 2nd place one ) so far prices are near 500-600..new, thinking maybe a 2nd hand one might be the way to go ? But there are always option's right, Thanks Gentlemen, I appreciate the info, Frank
Find your local Snap On rep and see if he has any trade in/ refurbs (they sometimes take tools in partial trade towards new ones) as these are the same quality but sold at a discount.
I think it also depends on the torque range you need. I have 3 wrenches for 3 different ranges and each has a different drive. For example, if you want to torque down an M6 precisely, you won`t be able with a 1/2 wrench because it won`t work in that range. And M6s are very easy to overtorque, and you car is full of with them.
