I need your opinions. What's the best torque wrench? I need a 1/2 inch drive that goes to 250lbs. My old one is a clicker that is 35 years old and just goes to 150. It's time for a replacement. Thanks

I looked at the Sturtevent Richmont site and it is very impressive. I might give them a call. What do you guys think of OTC?

It's not easy to find a 1/2 inch torque wrench that goes to 250 lb. clickers are ok for most the dial indicator types are more accurate, but expensive.

The airline I work for has hundreds of torque wrenches. I've spend quite a bit of time on three ocassions discussing torque wrenches and useage and which one is best, etc. with the two guys who calibrate and repair all of them.

Sturtevant Richmont torque wrenches beat the others hands down. They stay calibrated, less likely to go out of tolerence, even with abuse, and are easier to calibrate. Even most non linear errors can be corrected with them.

We also have lots of Proto. They are OK, but much more difficult to get back in range if out of calibration limits, and non linear errors usually scrap them.
