A Craftsman I bought probably about 10 years or more ago.

This must be the model # here in this pic.

It is 3/8" drive, and I don't see that model on their site, it's been replaced by a newer one.
Works great, and I just used it two weekends ago to torque my Aisin hub bolts.
Can't remember what I paid for it back then, but I know it was not cheap.
If anything, this looks like it.

I'm going to buy a Snap-on. In the meantime I have a Pittsburgh 1/2" from Harbor Freight. I wouldn't rebuild an engine with it but its plenty good for tightening bolts everywhere else on the truck.

Mac, Matco, Snap-On...they are all really good stuff, and I would buy them if I could afford them. Those guys used to bring their trucks around once a week to the shop during the summer, and I used to drool every time I stepped onto their rolling showrooms....

I have 3 Torque wrenches (I am a mechanic though)
1. Snap-On 50-250 FT LBS 1/2" drive
2. Snap-On 10-70 FT LBS 3/8" drive
3. Proto 5-200 Inch LBS 3/8" drive
#1 cost about $225 off the Snap-On truck
#2 cost $115 on EBAY (new)
#3 cost $25 at Boeing surplus
At work I also use a 600 FT LBS 3/4" drive and a 1000 FT LBS 1" drive (it hurts just to pick it up!)

No. You used to haul the 600 pounder!
Just heard yesterday that 757 final assy will only have 8 people by late this year. Also heard Renton may be converted to condos and shopping (Boeing has asked for zoning change according to KIRO)

I was over in Renton the other day and they had only one 737 and one 757 in the factory.
I probably saw a whole 30 people in the factory
There is a rumor today that Boeing will make some type of announcement?

Yep, I saw an email yesterday.
Looks like the 737 line is going North to Everett, and no more Renton plant.
Also Auburn is going South to Portland.

Send anything you want down this way, Corey, we could use all the help we can get.
