One of my favorite tools for sure and it's always in my mechanic toolbox so any time I work on a car I have with me.

Expensive but the ultimate torque wrench - torque wrench with exchangeable heads. You won't need any other, ever! If you've ever done suspension work, you'll appreciate these for the difficult to access fasteners.

That's really cool. On suspension parts where I don't have room for the torque adapter I can often use my impact wrench and torque stick.

Well now my wife is mad at you! That converts to about $427 plus shipping and fees. There is a guy selling it on ebay https://www.ebay.com/p/12025059833?i...SABEgL48_D_BwE that brings it down to $300 and I think I am going to roll the dice and buy it in January.

Can't you achieve the same thing simply by buying a set of crows foot wrenches to go with your already owned torque wrench?

Obviously you don’t buy tools just because they are AWESOME...

There was this one time I didn’t have the correct wrench size I needed (24mm) so I ordered a set that went to 24 and then ordered an expansion of my current set that goes to 25mm just so next time I am not caught with my pants down.

I love my Tekton 1/2 and 1/4 torque wrenches....but that Capri looks nifty. Wish it was cheaper....but in fairness...I wish everything was cheaper.
