torque wrench options

[Thunder53]

I want to buy an inch/lbs torque wrench.

Any recommendations of what might be the best option(s)??

Thanks

Hell, I'd go with your normal shop torque wrench. I honestly dont trust the plastic encased torque wrenches. A SnapOn or Matco should serve you a lifetime. They have plenty of hex bits,screw driver bits, etc. that we use on the muzzle loaders.

I use the Wheeler Torque Fat Wrench, it's a descent torque driver for gunsmith work.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was originally thinking Wheeler Fat Wrench, but had read some negative reviews.

But with 3 "thumbs up" here I'll probably give one a try.

Found a "Fatty" on sale and picked it up.

Will be testing/using it over the next couple of days and will see how good it works.

Thanks for the input!

I agree, so far, so good.

As a follow up, I have been using the Fat Wrench, not to be confused with the "fat wench", for the last month and it seems to work pretty good.

Happy with it so far.

The Fat Wrench seems to be workiing pretty good.
