What Torque Wrenches are u guys using?

I have the 1/4" clicker torque wrench from HF. It worked perfect when I had to replace the clutch plate springs on my old 800 Suzuki. The spring bolts are very delicate and I was able to torque them down properly without twisting them.
I believe that most of HF tools are fine for the occasional user. Not all but most.

I bought the 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" clickers from HF years ago.
I have a buddy that "calibrates" equipment, so he checked them at that time.
He checks them anytime it's important. He did last Summer when I did the 1k service on the 14 Ultra, they were still good to go.
As others have said, they were fine.
Good Luck

I did a search on torque wrenches and this was the most recent one, so I thought I would post here instead of starting a new thread. I have one 3/8" drive torque wrench with a range 5-75 ft. lb (10.2 - 98.3 Nm) and was wondering if this wrench would cover the range of torque settings for servicing my 2014 Ultra Limited or do I need one for a higher range? I'm waiting on my service manual, so I'm not exactly sure what ranges I need. Also, should I have a 1/4" drive and, if so, what range do you think I would need? Thanks.

I use a 3/8 drive clicker style I bought at Northern Tool for $30 on anything 5flbs or more. For anything under 5flbs I try to use an inch lbs torque wrench also bought at Northern Tool for about $30... They seem to work just fine and I'm not paying Snap-On or Craftsman big bucks for something I hardly ever use...lol

I love tools and find any excuse to buy more so I'm not the right guy to ask. You will probably have a hard time finding a wrench in 3/8 at a lower torque setting meaning you have to buy a 1/4 drive. I have 8 and each are calibrated on an annual basis due to job requirements. I have Snap on 1/4 in lbs in two different ranges, 3/8 in lbs & ft lbs and 1/2 ft lbs.,craftsman in 3/8 ft. lbs and HF in 1/4 low ft lbs and 3/8 in ft lbs. I've had them for a number of years and they always calibrate just fine.
