    Torque wrenches

    Hi guys, can someone shed some light on torque wrenches, I was at a mates place and he had one that clicked loudley when at the right torque, do they all do that??

    Can anyone recomend one for me to get.I would not use it much so i dont need the dearest one out there but as long as its accurate.I was thinking $100-$150 or will that just get me junk.

    Any thoughts ???

    I thought a torque wrench looked a lot different than that, thats more a rattle gun, could be wrong .

    yeah but a torque wrench is an entirely different tool, used to torque eg wheel nuts, head bolts. this is a hi torque rattle gun thingy
    That TENG tool is what I was thinking of
