What's a good torque wrench to get?

I want to replace the spark plugs in my car and I'm apparently going to have to torque them to 30Nm. #diy #tools

CDI torque products is kinda like snapon quality at half the price. Because snapon owns them.

I know this post is pretty old but I'll share what I got and why, and if you happen to see this, let me know what you went with, if you got a torque wrench.

I went with this: https://a.co/d/0vWKZH3. It's a digital torque adapter and the reason I got it was that I didn't want to drop a ton of money or have to worry about recalibrating/checking the calibration on a normal torque wrench.

I ended up getting this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M68G49R?ref=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_617S7DTN7HDTPTB0YR75_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_617S7DTN7HDTPTB0YR75_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_617S7DTN7HDTPTB0YR75_1&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=2

So far it's worked great for tightening spark plugs and an oil filter cover.

Nice! I've heard good things about that one, glad it's working well for you.
