Default Proto Torque Wrench?

i need to buy a decent torque wrench under the price of $200.
i read a very few positive feedbacks about Proto brand. I closely did not find any reviews on this brand. But i heard that these tools are used in NASA.
Can anyone give me feedbacks or reviews on Torque Wrench, 1/2 Dr, 30-150 Ft/Lb from Proto?

Don't know about NASA, not familiar with Proto. Just looking at the specs seems like a quality tool. Also, it isn't like Grainger is some fly-by-night company. I'm sure they will stand behind the stuff they sell.

I just went ahead and got a Craftsman Digi-Tork. I was about $190 for Sears and I'm pretty pleased with it.

did you say that Grainger is a fly by night company?
If so, it's good that i didn't order it from them. I order a proto tq wrench from MSC industry lol

^ He said they're NOT some fly-by-night company. Toyota apparently has that covered.

Yeah. Grainger is generally for company use but there might be a store front in your area that could hook you up. I work at Lowe's and I know Grainger is one of their suppliers.
