I understand totally ! I had to have them for my work so that's why I have so many for one and also why I only use "Snap-On" . Come-backs are a pain in the butt ! Just a side note for those who don't like "double clickers" . A good torque wrench will not increase the torque if you double or...

I also own "Degree" wheels for those torques that require that. For example, torque to 140 ft Ibs and then 20 degrees more. Also all manuals will list how the bolt or stud is to be torqued, be it threads dry or lubed.

OK don't get me wrong I too have bought tools from Harbor Freight but I would never buy any measuring tool (dial indicator, calipers, micromters) or critical torque tool from them. I own only "Snap-On" torque wrenches and "Starrett" and "NSK" micrometers. My torque wrenches go from 30 in Ibs to...

Sounds like you work for the aircraft industry. I have gotten some great deals from the "Boeing" surplus center in the past. They also are required to calibrate every few months and after just a couple of calibrations they get new ones.

Considering my tools is how I make a living I don't lend them out to anyone. I will let my best friend who is also a mechanic and owns his own shop borrow a tool every now and then but he doesn't ask very often since he doesn't loan tools either, and he only asks to borrow some of my specialty...

The click type need to be set to 0 during storage. That was the old thinking, now they say you need to keep at least 20ft Ibs on it. I know next week they will say 30ft Ibs and the week after that it must be zero again. I just store mine at the lowest setting and get them calibrated every two...
