torque wrench?

what 300 foot pound torque wrench do yall recommend for under 300buck??

[Kershaw]

you trying to torque the crankshaft bolt on there? buy your standard craftsman 25-250 torque wrench at sears. torque it to 250 and then torque it a bit more. you rarely need 300 ft lbs. not worth it.

This^

That bolt is not ever going to come loose at 250lbs xD

When I need one I rent it. It only cost $8 for the day.

Check your used tool shops or local pawn shops.

This is always iffy with me, I tend to stay away from used precision tools. I don't mind if it is a wrench of sockets etc. People use them as breaker bars and never take care of them.

Guess it depends on the shop. I have bought some decent tools at both types of locations.

DO NOT BUY THE CRAFTSMAN! I had 2 of the craftsman torque wrenches and neither worked. I set them at all different torques and they never gave, just acted like a regular socket wrench.

If you want to go cheap and decent, I had luck with a Kobalt wrench from Lowes. Has if for a couple years now and it hasn't failed me yet. I bought it with the money I got back from sears when I returned the craftsman one and had $20 left over.

But torquing a fastener 25% shy of its recommended torque and "just going a little more" isn't iffy?

Craftsmen torque wrenches are actually pretty accurate. We have a torque wrench calibration checker at my work and they test pretty damn close to the snap on ones.

I was thinking the same thing. I've got some snap on wrenches and swear by them. I inherited them from my grandpa who had them in his shop back in the early 1960's. Take care of them and get them recalibrated every once in a while just to be sure and they'll last a really long time. It's going to be spinning at some good rpm's, I would get a decent wrench, even if you have to rent it, and torque it per spec. That would suck to lose a motor because you wanted to skimp on 1 bolt. I know there's a slim chance, but at 6500rpm I don't want to be playing with chances, but that's just me.
