Swapped from a cheap torque wrench to a Snap-on and my head bolt torque readings finally make sense
I was chasing head gasket leaks for three months on a 6.7 Cummins, and the cheap Harbor Freight wrench was off by 25 ft-lbs at 200. The Snap-on was pricey at $400, but after one job the coolant stayin' in the block. Anyone else seen big swings between budget and pro torque tools on their builds?

@the_joel you are a braver man than me. I have seen too many stripped threads and snapped bolts to ever just trust the feel.
