[alfa] torque wrenches

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Group:

Anyone have any good ideas for a torque wrench?  My original 20+ year old 
Craftsmen Digi-Tork failed about a year ago, and the new top-of-the-line 
Craftsmen I got is a useless piece of crap.  I've already had to exchange 
it once for a stripped ratchet end, and last night the handle end blew 
apart at around 30 lb/ft. (on a 75 lb wrench).  So, I just can't consider 
Craftsmen to be trustworthy anymore, and I'm sorry I didn't keep the 
original one with the sloppy ratchet end.  BTW, no more lifetime warranty 
on Craftsmen torque wrenches, but I don't know how recently that changed.

What can I get for <$150 that's Alfa-worthy?  I really only like the click 
type, as opposed to the beam type, which I think can occasionally be 
troublesome to sight.  I need a wrench that's got a range up to 75 lb/ft., 
and prefer 3/8" drive.

Regards,

Dean
