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.


120-600 ft. lb. Snap-On, about 4 1/2 feet in length. Sells for a touch under $1K.
