Wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas, So I was thinking about a torque wrench. I always use my dads when I need to torque something. His is a Husky, and works fine. However it only goes up to so many lbs inch. Well I had to torque some things on my haybine and had nothing that went that high in ft lbs, I think it was, cant find the manual so Im not sure. Anyway what would be a good wrench for farm use? Thanks, JayinNY
 
Armstrong has a nice click type torque wrench that goes to 250 ft/lbs. We have 2 of these at the shop I work at.
 
Craftsman, Mac, Proto, Blackhawk (NAPA) all are fine tools. Do not go for the price "dissapoint" of a off name tool Jim
 
250 pounds doesn't cut it for big truck tires.Need at least 400 for buds and 325 for spoked.
Not an answer for buying one but this is what I use.
I use a 3/4 drive with a sliding bar on the handle. At 3 ft long and I stand on the end I get 600 ft lbs.Ajust acordingly.

In the local shop they use the ones that break open the hande. They seem to like them alot but they are very expencive.
 
I found it better to buy her something I can use and ask her to do the same . that way if we don't like it we can trade.
