Torque wrench

Looking to buy a dial style torque wrench. Would like it to be
in Newton meter scale as that saves the time on conversion I
have been looking at these.

The cdi one is like a $150 with a 4% accuracy and the snap on is
almost $300 with 2% accuracy not sure how accurate I need to be
with chainsaw stuff. But it does help to keep things from coming
loose or stripping the threads. I have one from stihl now and i
know something is not quite right with it. Talked to the local
snap on tool guy and he say he can check the accuracy for me.

Have you checked on the Proto torque wrenches. I do not have
the dial type but the 3 I have from Proto seem to be of good
quality.

easily + accurate scale.

I've had a Armstrong torque wrench all my life. Never given any
trouble. But working on old chainsaws, there are some people
that are either on the milt toast side or ham fisted?

Found a company called mountz that sells and services the
torqueleader brand of wrench that I have now. Took me a few
hours to find. Seems they make the ones for Stihl just a
different color and badging.
