    Default Buying a proper torque wrench- any stores in Calgary?

    Anyone know if there are any local stores that sell proper torque wrenches?

    Looking for non-clicker type, preferably digital. Would be looking to spend up to around $500.

    I was looking at snap on ones to order online but was hoping to get one soon.

    Need something accurate in the 20-100 ft lb range.

    Thanks!

    I'm sure someone on here has the contact info of our local snap on dealers.

    check out Norbar if you want accuracy & serviceability - SnapOff is like Apple - no parts or service after a few years.

    McCann Equipment - they list Calgary but they are really in Edmonton.

    If you are looking for higher end, look for Proto or rebranded.

    Amazon has yielded me better pricing than in town.

    If you have time, the Eastwood digital is feature packed, very accurate, and about $150.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Ended up checking out Calgary fasteners during my errands and they had a CDI model I had been looking at. Competitive pricing too!

    Would recommend them again, way more organized, clean and helpful than KMS tools.

    Was looking at the Eastwood digital ones for a while. Super good bang for your buck. I bought a Eastwood brake line flare tool once and it was good quality.
