I need a 200 ft-lbs torque wrench
 
My project (1969 c20 rebuild) is slowly building my tool pile. Now I'm in need of a 200 ft-lbs torque wrench, but my budget is limited.

Anyway enough rambling. Does anyone know about the Neiko brand 50-300 ft-lbs, model RIDGE03704?

Is it worth it for the weekend mechanic?

Re: I need a 200 ft-lbs torque wrench
 
that is a 3/4'' head and will be hard to get into some spots
1/2'' head will be readily available any where
this is something i'd buy new, torque wrenches can be abused and get out of spec
in a pro shop they need to be calibrated every few years
i've never had my 25 yr old craftman clicker calibrated
