RE: Torque Wrench
I have 3... 2 huskey's and a craftsman. 1 husky is a 1/2 drive and I think it goes to 250 lbs, the other is a 3/8 drive and is in inch lbs. the last one goes to 100 ft lbs and is the craftsman, it's a 3/8 drive also. i've used all 3 at one time or another... of the 3, i prefer the husky ones. they seem to be better built and the craftsman doesnt have the warranty to back it up.

RE: Torque Wrench
You can turn just about any wrench into a 'torque wrench' by purchasing one of those digital readout fisherman scales and pulling on the handle of the wrench at a right angle.
Measure from center of bolt/nut to where you are pulling on the wrench handle.
It is also easier to check the accuracy this way, just check to see if the fisherman's scale reads correctly.

RE: Torque Wrench
Kolkut you do not understand what torque is,
if you think putting the scale at 4 foot and pulling it to 25 lbs is the same as pulling 25 lb at one foot.
At four feet it is 100 ft-lbs. (25 x 4)
At one foot it is 25 ft-lbss. (25 x 1)
The first time I used a fish scale to torque a nut
it was with a 10 foot extension to put 500 ft-lbs on the flange bolts of a 20 inch by 20 inch centrifugal pump driven by a 1200 horsepower electric motor.
