Hmm,.That's interesting JayG, I also want the accuracy,I will only use it for the Boxster and my 914 and MGB work, if I could find out who makes them for snap-on,Iam sure it would be a tad cheaper..I watched a You-Tube Vid from a site called Project Farm,This guy test all kinds of items..and gave Snap-on the highest rating ( cant remember the 2nd place one ) so far prices are near 500-600..new, thinking maybe a 2nd hand one might be the way to go ? But there are always option's right, Thanks Gentlemen, I appreciate the info, Frank

Find your local Snap On rep and see if he has any trade in/ refurbs (they sometimes take tools in partial trade towards new ones) as these are the same quality but sold at a discount.

I think it also depends on the torque range you need. I have 3 wrenches for 3 different ranges and each has a different drive. For example, if you want to torque down an M6 precisely, you won`t be able with a 1/2 wrench because it won`t work in that range. And M6s are very easy to overtorque, and you car is full of with them.
