    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.

    When I read product reviews I usually take the review with a grain of salt,but reading so many
    bad reviews concerning the Wheeler FAT Wrench,this time the bad over rides the good so
    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.

    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.

    That's what I use also.

    The Snap-on Driver also told me that Beam wrenches are the most accurate.

    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.
