For reasonably priced, I would say Tekton.
If you looking to really save some $$, you could even buy a total brand one. The differences between cheap and expensive torque wrenches is very minor in terms of calibration, like within 5% of specParvin wrote:adnj wrote: I use a torque wrench on lug nuts.

I bought this Tekton on Amazon six years ago for $39USD. It has worked well, granted I only use it to torque wheel nuts. If you can find Performance Tool locally for a similar price, go for it.

maj. tom wrote:Cars lug nuts to tighten, follow a star pattern. Silicone grease, then finger tight all the way in plus another 1/4 or 1/2 turn with the wheel spanner using hand. Should be about 80 to 90 ft-lbs. I do this and then check it with a torque wrench and it was a good average. Using a 1-foot L wheel spanner it should be like the force to move 90 lbs so you can use that to average. Never use your foot on the wheel spanner to tighten for a car. Only to loosen.
Pickups supposed to be like 140 ft-lbs and higher which would mean tighten with foot using a wheel jack, but have no personal experience with that.
Had this one chick get a flat and was trying to take out the wheel nuts. One was on so tight the wheel spanner bent. It still didn't come out.pugboy wrote:yuh have to remember that in all likelihood, a battery gun will be at a disadvantage against a nut put on by a tire shop air gun.

I can vouch for milwaukee m18 tools. Those milwaukee batteries seems to defy the laws of physics by getting so much energy out of them to power these tools.NR8 wrote:Considering selling and upgrading from my Craftsman C3 19.2V cordless power tool bundle. It includes 1no. 1/2" impact wrench, 1no. hammer drill/driver, 1no. 4.5" angle grinder, 1no. multi-chemistry (Li-Ion and Ni-Cd) battery charger an 2no. 4Ah batteries (1 Craftsman XCP & 1 aftermarket).
They've all served me well for DIY use with good power and great battery life. The impact wrench can break axel nuts with ease and I've done my entire car suspension front and rear on 1 battery with charge remaining. The drill was used around the house and the grinder used less than 10 times. It's a great combo for a DIYer and original/aftermarket batteries and other Craftsman C3 tools are easily found online.
Considering letting it go for $2000. What yall think?
See model numbers below.
Impact wrench - 315.ID2030
Hammer drill - 315.HD2000
Angle Grinder - 315.FS2601B
Batter charger - 315.CH2030
XCP battery - 315.PP2030
