I do not now, and have never owned a Torque Wrench. That being said I want to purchase one to have if and when I need one. Suggestions? I believe 1/2 inch would be my best bet since I would mainly be using it for my wheels, but could get crazy and do something with suspension parts.

We have been using the Tekton 1/2 drive for a bit now and like it a lot. Here is the link for Wayalifes store though, it may be out of stock at the moment per Amazon.

Also a fan of that Tekton one. It's really comfortable to use.

ditto on Tekton.

I think they replaced the 25-250 with a 40-200, they no longer offer the 25-250 on the Tekton website

I’ve always bought precision torque wrenches. If you look around they build snap on Mac most all other brands are manufactured by precision.

Good comparison on torque test channel. More expensive does not equal more better.

I have the 1/2” drive Tekton one, but I also have a smaller inch/pound one for beadlock ring bolts.
