Summer is quickly approaching, which means that you should already be wrenching on your rides. Whether it be much-needed maintenance, or maybe a few long-awaited mods, there’s always some reason to be under the hood of your project car.
If you’re more of a shadetree mechanic (like myself), you might still be filling up your toolbox. That’s perfectly okay—tools are expensive, after all. Some of us are on a budget and would rather line the shelves with Harbor Freight sockets instead of Snap-On, anyway.
However, there are some tools that you should just have in your possession. A torque wrench is one of those must-haves. It might fly to estimate just how tight a non-essential bolt is, but when it comes to something crucial like a bolt holding down a gasket or suspension component, a torque wrench is your best friend. If you don’t already have one, I’ve got some good news: there’s a big sale over on Amazon on torque wrenches, and we’ve hand-picked a few examples that you can put in your tool arsenal for a great price.
