Description
Snap On vs ICON, GearWrench, Craftsman, DeWalt, SK Tools, ACDelco, SUERCUP, SUZUME, COOBEAST, and eTork. Torque wrenches compared for accuracy at 50, 150, and 250 foot pounds of torque. The wrenches were also compared for accuracy after 1,000 cycles. Additionally, the speed of the electronics/sensors is compared. I purchased all of the torque wrenches.
