Thats cool... can you post where you got it from? The torque wrnech I use now is old and crappy.
I bought one of these when I bought my wheels:

Its a speed wrench, makes getting the lugs off MUCH faster and easier. I paid $20 for mine from a local Discount Tire. With this and that torque wrench I'll be in lug heaven.

I'm trying to paint my engine cover, just the insert piece that covers the intake manifold, to match the silver on my car.

Oh, for even speedier removal of lugs, I use a 14.4v cordless drill with a 19mm socket. To tighten and loosen the lugs, I use a torque wrench.

torque wrench
Sorry for barging into this discussion. I do not have an Acura - I am not in that tax bracket yet...
I am provide tech support for www.codymercantile.com , the we b site that Nate has listed in an earlier post in this thread. While Cody Mercantile does carry a number of fine and useful tools for your garage, shop and garden...it apparantly does not carry the torque wrench anymore.
I have noticed a number of you have used the link to access the Cody Mercantile site and have therfore encountered an error.
My apologies for the inconvenience and happy driving to all!
