Any recommendations, need something good @ a good price for tire removals.

 

I bought mine at Home Depot for $50....it gets the job done....its a Husky.

 

Sears has pretty good quality (when it comes to tools) for a reasonable price.

 

 

Just don't get the dial type, they're a pain in the butt to read sometimes. Get the"click release" type.

 

the click release ones are real nice

 

Here's a good one for doing tires. Seems way too cheap but I have one and it seems to work very well. I actually like it better than the Sears one I had. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...itemnumber=239

 

yer right a torque wrench for 10$?? but sometimes there are gems out there

 

I have the Sears clicker model.

Someone on the Subaru boards made a comment about this cheapo harborfrieght model. It went something like this:

• No matter the cost or name brand, all torque wrenches have a finite lifespan of accurate measurement.
• Re-calibrating is overpriced and a PITA.
• Buy a cheap wrench, use it for a year or so and then throw it away and buy a new one.
• Worn torque wrenches can be used as breaker bars.

FWIW -- I also read somewhere that you should store your torque wrench on its lightest setting (ie: not leave it at 80ft*lbs after you torque your wheel lug nuts). Apparently, this will increase the accurate life-span of the wrench.
