I have to buy a torque wrench for the maintenance of my direction parts (I need 130 ft/lbs)
I want a cheap model because I will rarely use it. Therefore, I don't want to pay the big price for a Snap-On
I was looking at the 150 lbs model of Craftsman or Mastercraft. Which one is the "best" Any other suggestion?
Note: Please don't tell me that I will buy shit. I know that it's not quality, but I will use it probably 4 times per year, and there is a lifetime guarantee anyway.

This model is probably too big for my use?

Yes
Just buy the Craftsman 1/2 drive. That is all you will ever need for your Jeep. Even a good discount tool store model would work. At this time bigger is not better.

Finally, I bought my torque wrench at RO-NA
Powerbuilt 20-150 ft/lbs
Lifetime Guarantee
92.00 plus txs
I didn't buy Craftman because there is only a 1 year guarantee
Maximum (can tire) good product, good price, but the wrench is too long
