I'll second the Fat Wrench -- seems to work well -- just bought mine about a month ago.
I too have the Fat Wrench. I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago on sale at Bass Pro Shop. I was a little worried cause I thought it was kind of cheap looking but was pleasantly surprised at the ease of adjustment and use.
I have found Borka torque wrenchs are a far better value than the wheeler for only a little more money. Go to Borka torque wrench and check the out.
I have a KD tools beam wrench. It measures from 0-60 in. lbs. You can get one for under $30 plus shipping.
When I read product reviews I usually take the review with a grain of salt,but reading so manyQuote:

I think I'll pass on the FAT Wrench and look else where.
I have 3 foot lb wrenches,I need a do all 1/4 drive inch lb.
Go to harbor freight like I did. :)
I have matched my fat wrench against my Mac torque wrench in my tool box, it is within 1"# of torque, I must admit I would like a few more graduations on the adjustment scale, but it is quite accurate, or so it appears to me.Quote:

I'm satisifed with the Fat Wrench - I recall that most of the negative reviews (on Midway) were from years ago, and that the majority of positive reviews were from recent years.

Thanks for all the suggestions,I bought a Park Tool TW-2 Beam Torque Wrench (3/8- Inch Drive, 0-600 inch Lbs)
for $40 dollars in the box,this wrench will do just nicely.
