So I know the JK is very sensitive when it comes to torque settings... Especially in the front end.

What torque wrenches are you guys using. I'm going to pick one up... But was just wondering what is the best size for use on the JK..... Any input would be helpful.

 

I have a Craftsman 3/8" drive 10-75 foot lbs. and a 1/2" drive 20-150 foot lbs. That should do it.

The 1/2 in. drive is what I use on most of the suspension and steering bolts. But some time I need the 3/8 in for tighter areas.

 

Harbor Freight, $9.99 with a coupon

Lifetime Warranty.

 

I guess having two is a good idea... What kinda $$$ do the craftsmans usually run?

 

On the Sears website you can get either one for $67.99 regular price is about $80.00.
I think I got mine for $59.99 on sale.

 

I had a 1/2 drive Craftsman and returned it. Then bought the harborfreight in all the different sizes. I use them for when I work on my Harley too.

 

SnapOn 1/2" is pretty much all I use. I gave up on craftsman a while ago. Plus I get a discount on SnapOn so that helps too.

Sent from my TBolt with 4GEEZ!

 

Awesome info, thanks a ton.

 

I got my craftsman from my local Sears for 29 bucks.

 

x2 on the harbor freights. they aren't the best ones but are much easier on the wallet
