Just looked and it was about $450.00, got it from the company that makes them for Snap-on so it was discounted.

As to this one, got it today and used it. Not bad at this price. Pretty light weight with a good sized grip on it. As I torque my wheels, I like to see an immediate flash come up showing the actual torque reading that was applied. This one does but is slow in showing on the display.

One thing I'd want changed on this is when you input a specified torque in to the memory is that it stays there after the power is turned off. It needs to stay there so you don't have to re-input the torque each time it's on.

If I wasn't spoiled by the Snap-On wrenches I'd have no issues using this one all the time.

Working on my friends racing team with all Snap-On tools really spoils you. We use one of the vibrating torque wrenches for wheels that gives you an instant reading of the exact torque.

If this works in a similar way, just a bit slower, I can live with that. In my garage I'm never in the kind of a rush as we are pit-side.

That version on Amazon is without the case. Amazon sells the case version for $120.

Probably not much, since they are a Rennlist Site Sponsor. I'll bet they sell more from Amazon then on Rennlist. It's all part of marketing...

When are we going to get Snap-on as a sponsoring vendor, so that we can get the snap on tools at a discount?

I've read of others who have purchased their torque wrench after me and yet mine has yet to arrive? Whom do I speak with to track this?

you can order them online, but you get no warranty from what i understand, not that you need one for non electronic stuff.

Got it! Looks great. How often does it need to be recalibrated and how/where can this be done.

It's not like I'll be using it every day or even more than once a month.
