Torque wrench question

[1993 Legacy]

Hi,
I am trying to decide which would be the most useable torque wrench range for a Legacy. Being a bit short on cash I was wondering where to start i.e. which is the range you use most.
Any advise regarding producers welcome as well.
Thanks and best regards

purchase a torque wrech that has a lifetime warranty. it's also a bonus if the company you purchase the wrench from also has a testing or calibration service to make sure the wrench is still accurate years from now.

DO NOT get a beam-type torque wrench.

Be sure to get a 1/2" drive . . .they're longer and are easier to use. Something that at least goes from 50-100 ft/lbs should be the most useful. . . considering wheel lugs, suspension bolts, etc.

I had a craftsman digitork 3/8 wrench that works more than fine. I've used it on my suspension installs, and it seems to go high enough, i believe the max torque setting is 80 ft lbs. Only problem with the craftsman products is that you only have a 90 day warranty on the torque wrenches, but they do offer calibration, and it's a hell of a lot easier than tracking down a snap-on or matco truck

As with most other things, the digital version isn't as accurate as the mechanical version. Though even those aren't completely accurate depending on which you get. Get a clicky style definately.

I like the clicky styles too. Makes things very definite and intuitive.

Speaking of torque wrenches, I need to go buy one. I think I've lost mine.

the digitork is the clicky version. It merely shows you the exact torque numbers that you have it set upon.
