I just purchased a torque wrench, Snap On model QJFR275E, on Ebay. It looks new with little use and should be here in a few days. I always liked the style and quality of older Snap On tools. While I should have asked this before buying it, are parts still available for these older wrenches? I'll send it to Angle Repair for calibration, hence my question about parts availability. Does anyone have an idea how old these models are and when they quit making them, and if they are accurate to plus, minus 4 percent like newer models? I'll be looking to buy one in this style/ model in inch pounds, particularly 200-1000 in lbs and 40-200 in lbs, and a 1/2 drive 40-250 ft lbs if anyone has one for sale. Thanks
I tried posting a picture of a wrench just like it I had found online with no luck. It is one of the older designs with the lock ring you have to turn to the left to lock it once the correct ft lbs is set, to the right to unlock it. In my opinion it seems to be better quality than the Snap On one I have today, which I bought new 3 years ago.
