I picked one up in the return section for $60 with two batteries. Makes short work of stuck suspention bolts too.

At that price, you can treat it as a disposable.

another +1 on the Goodyear. It works great and is priced even better. It doesn't have the extra slow speed that you may get with the Snap-On, but it's also about 1/3 of the price.
I usually charge it before each track weekend and it lasts without recharging. I do bring the charger just in case.

Maybe I got a bad unit with the Goodyear torque wrench but I bought one and it could not break loose lugs at anything over 70ft / lbs of torque.
I ended up returning this unit and purchasing an equally inexpensive unit from Harbor Freight not expecting much. To my suprise the Harbor Freight unit will break loose lugs without breaking a sweat. I've tested it up to 100ft /lbs without any problems. I've had this unit for over a year now and it continues to work without any problems.
