Hi guys,

I've been looking to get a torque wrench (to tighten wheel lug bolts, oil filter canister, and oil drain plug).

I've done some research and come to conclusion that the Sears Craftsman brand is of mediocre quality and should be avoided. I heard good comments about Snap-On brand, but I've never seen them before. I heard about this "Snap-On trucks" that you can get the tool from, but where do you find the truck?

I also read praises about Facom tools and find The Ultimate Garage website. After reading about Facom, I'm almost convinced that Facom is the ultimate tool, and hence the ultimate price :-)

I've heard about getting a high quality torque wrench as one of the most important investment for your tool set, so I think the cost is justifiable. But before I take the plunge, I'd like to hear your comment and advice.

Also, is there any other place online that sells Facom tools? I know The Ultimate Garage and Griot's Garage.

Thanks a lot.

jim
