I have started to do some maintenance on my truck, i now i feel like i should be following the proper torque specs for the truck.
Guess what i don't have a torque wrench or wrench's.
So what is the opinion of a not break the bank but good torque wrench and how many ft lbs or inch lbs.
i am assuming i should be buying both for accuracy.
Alright so let's here it, who's got an opinion?
Thank you to all who respond

I like my set from home depot. The thing you have to keep in mind with tq wrenches is getting them calibrated. The more you use them, the more often you need to have them calibrated.

You can expect to pay $100-$200 for a decent digital 1/2" wrench 250 ft.lb and around $80+ for a 3/8".

Digital all the way!
Have a buddy who has a snap on and it has the fancy colors to tell you when your getting close to your torque spec. Then it vibrates when you hit it LOL!
800 bucks or so though.....

Nothing in my area by Lowes so I went Kobalt and have been very happy with them.
But yes .. get both.

I have one that is 50 to 150 ftlbs and another that is something like 20 to 80 ftlbs. First one is a mastercraft (Canadian Tire house brand) and the second is a dewalt. Both are just plain Jane click type wrenches but they work great.
