We just got our electronic torque wrench from the Snap-On guy. It looks like a regular torque wrench but it has and electronic display on the handle, and all you do is put in the amount of torque on the display and when you torque something to the amount you put in, it beeps and vibrates. Very Very Nice tool.

What does that unit cost ???

I'm guessing the Snap-On unit is 200 bucks....that stuff is like getting a hooker in vegas, it feels better, looks better, but does the same job for 4x the price [img]wink.gif[/img]
