I buy one every time I go to Sears and see one on sale. I got three now...if I would just learn how to use them I think I might impress my girlfriend...who always asks me: "whatta ya need that for?"

After reading all the posts, decided to try the Kobalt 3/8 inch. Was $79.99 and has a lifetime guarantee. No plastic collar or parts. If I don't like this one will take back and get another.

Now, what is torque spec on oil plug? Thanks.

Mine gets torqued to exactly "snug"   :rotflmao:
$500 worth of torque wrenches in the box and I rarely use either. Mostly only for engine and suspension work.
No, really, she is the best and I can prove it...
