I'm aware of the "geometry" and "math" solution to getting to the rated torque spec of the axle nut, but I'm OCD and that type of person that likes having the right tool.

I see pictures of people torquing axle nuts in DIY guides and stuff, but I'm having trouble finding a wrench that'll do over 250ft/lbs. Prefer click-type as well.

Yes, I know they are expensive, and yes, I know I may use it once in my lifetime, etc... but I'm still curious what wrench you guys are using for those that own the right tool for this.

I never found one that was not 10% the value of my Boxster, I used math and a long breaker bar....this was over 2 years ago and all is still fine.

Me too. The math works. And for me it was probably more like 6-7 years ago.
