I think they're having Craftsman tool sales now too.

Default If you just want it for doing wheels you can get one from Harbor Freight and Tool

there was a buying frenzy on these a while back...they're perfect for doing your wheels properly. I think I paid all of $10~$20 for it...comes in a nice case...and was tested by a fellow AudiWorld patron with a precision torque meter and found to be quite accurate.

Default I had the wrench calibrated at work - it was off 0.1%. My co workers was just under the spec of 4%

Per the tech who did the calibration - the Sears wrecnches he considered to be junk. He really liked the harbor tool one.

I have to admit the Sears is more polished and machined on the outside.
