What makes a torque wrench SAE? I thought they all had NM & ft-lb, and 3/8" is an industry standard.

Btw what sizes do square anvils and come to think of it hex impact driver slots come in abroad, where it's all metric?

And, while we're at it, what's a good 1/2" torque wrench that goes up to 250 ft-lb, under $60?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I remember the good old days when if you wanted a torque wrench it was a snap-on and cost $250.

How is it comparing to Husky wrench from Home Depot which also on sale for the same price? I am currently using HarborFreight version; is it worth for upgrading? Thanks.

The HF 1/2" wrench does not go up as high of a torque setting, plus the handle is shorter than these two...less leverage.

I bought the Craftsman 1/2" wrench this morning, then saw the Husky one posted just recently. I was about to cancel the Craftsman one to get the Husky, but after reading some of the comments, I found the Husky to be made in China, whereas the Craftsman to be made in Taiwan (better quality).

The Husky has a limited lifetime warranty, but if you are getting junk, it's just wasting trips to the store to replace for another sketchy item. Personally, I'm keeping the Craftsman and will pick it up on the way home from work today.

It looks like the craftsman only has a 90 day warranty

Harbor freight torque wrenches get the job done (made in Taiwan versions, not the Chinese ones), unless you're using it a lot as part of your work.

The Tekton torque wrench (3/8") is $42 on Amazon right now and the 1/2" drive is $39. I would take a Tekton any day over Craftsmen, and that doesn't even take into account the lifetime warranty that Tekton offers.

Thanks. I got the Tekton wrench since I need to torque my spark plugs around 15ftlbs and this craftsman starts at 20.

Are you really judging quality on country of origin alone? I'm not questioning your conclusion, just how you got there. I'm also not saying anything about buying preferences based on country, nor am I judging anything about preference based on politics or economics, but you seem to be drawing your conclusion based on country of origin, and I'm curious how you get there.

To say you're not judging, your whole paragraph seems to be just that. Of, course there can be quality products being pumped out from Chinese manufacturers, but for the costs and specs of most things being produced there, low costs and low quality seems to be the driving force. I have talked to, spec'd, and bought from several manufacturers from both mainland China and from Taiwan, bike components (carbon fiber frames, wheels, aluminum and titanium parts, etc), and can assure you the standard of quality in craftsmanship and reliability is noticeable between the two manufacturing regions.
Have YOU went to harbor freight and picked out a torque wrench, sift through the boxes, pick one Made in China and the same torque wrench made in Taiwan, and compare the two? Let me know when you have.
