[TR] Tools - Optimum torque wrench size?

[Bill & AnnaBelle]

Torque Wrenches  (like  most things you buy) are usually as good as 
the price you pay, I choose one that "clicks" , goes up to  150 ft 
lbs.  Mine is  from Precision Instrutments and costs about $250 ... 
this was on the advice from my favorite Auto Mechanic, who by the way 
has agreed to loan me his 250 ft lb wrench when I need it to install 
Good's CV axles.

>Up until the need to crank the rear hub's axle nut to 220-250 lbs, the Sears
>1/2" drive that went to 150 met all my needs for: lug nuts, suspension,
>flywheel, fan eliminator kit etc. I prefer the "click" type because you
>can't always see a dial or a beam but you can hear that click.
