My old one is long gone, and I need one for upcoming repairs.
First repair is rear axle swap, so not much in the way of space/size restrictions, but the 2nd repair, a front axle u-joint replacement might have some space restrictions for the unit bearing fasteners.
So my requirements:
-$100.00 or less (if $30.00 buys me an excellent tool, so be it, but I don't want to be buying one of these again soon..haha!)
-Somewhat diminutive in size
-1/2" drive
-able to torque up to and past 175ft-lbs
-durable/comfy grip
-durable main body (I'm a gorilla and have snapped my share of wrenches and ratchets)
What brands does that have me landing on? Craftsman? Snap-on? I'd honestly like to be able to walk into a store to buy it, but that's not a requirement.
Thanks in advance!
