What’s a good torque wrench to get?

I want to replace the spark plugs in my car and I’m apparently going to have to torque them to 30Nm. #diy #tools

    I’ve honestly always gotten satisfactory results from the el cheapos available at places like Princess Auto (the Canadian equivalent to Harbor Freight). I’m not a pro, just a weekend warrior, so saving some Canadian pesos is nice. For your application and needed torque, I’d get a 3/8" drive model and call it a day.

    Well known brands will of course cost way more, but many will also tell you to buy nice instead of buying twice, so your mileage may vary.

      This. My last torque wrench from PA was 19.99

      Just remember to de-torque it when you’re done to maintain accuracy
