...except for what the OP is looking to torque; an ~15 to 106 +/-
will cover oil changes, wheel tightening, etc. I use that lighter one for
stuff up to ~105 and a seperate tq wrench of ~70-350 for the serious
heavy stuff, though rarely. I also like the "click" style, but everyone
has their fave...

Any decent autoparts joint, Sears, the Net, etc.

I wouldn't being doing plugs anytime soon, imo...and they require
very careful torque application.
My 50cts...
