    Good Deal on a Torque Wrench?

    Found one at a pawn shop. Snap On, click type, 3/8 drive, 15-75 ft lbs, new condition with case and original accuracy certification from 2006. They want $199. Said they would cover the sales tax but wont go any lower than $199 for now.

    For you guys in the know, is that a good deal? I have a craftsman so I dont really "need" it but if its a good deal, I'll probably buy it.

    Smoking deal, OK deal, too much?

    It is a good deal. Get it calibrated as soon as you buy it. Mine is close to 30 years old and still works flawlessly, Snap-On FTW

    Thanks Cone, thats it exactly. Looks like its $60 off the price of a new one. Hmmmm.

    Im a craftsman guy all the way, just think they are best from a value standpoint given that I am a weekend wrencher at best. I do appreciate the nicer brands though and always have my eyes open for deals on used snap on, matco etc.

    Thanks for the input guys. Think I'll go get it.
