Digital Torque Wrench

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Griot's Garage digital torque wrench?

If anyone has it could you post your opinion on the quality and who makes it? Thanks.

I love my snapon torque wrench. I could not see paying $200.00 for a digital. It does not seem like it would stay accurate. How would you recalibrate it? just my .02

It says it comes with free lifetime testing service, so I suppose you would send it in for calibration.

Which snapon torque wrench do you have that's below $200? The lowest I see on their website is $230 for a 20-100ft-lb.

Mine was not $200.00. I think it was around $350.00 ish. I do not feel that the digital is as accurate as the regular troque wrench. Just my preferance

I have the 1/2 inch drive Techwrench from snap-on. It's invaluable for doing heads in the car. It calculates torque angle and keeps it logged so it can ratchet.
