That much I know, lol.

um, +/- 3 seconds per day is way out of spec for any decent watch. if you're off seconds/hour you're eff'd

Not sure I'd get the Craftsman. I consider it in the cheaper category like Harbor Freight, and part of the $70 price is for the name and part of the price is for the plastic handle that doesn't do much and is just overlaid onto the regular metal handle. Also, Craftsman torque wrenches are also probably made in China, and they only have a 1 year warranty.

Really, it's a toss up in the air as to which affordable torque wrench is better.

sorry I wasn't sure about the prices..didn't actually know what price range is the right one, so what model of Precision Instruments is good for an e46 owner?

I was incorrect about official endorsement of US special forces, apparently it is German special forces (OMG they must have sick gear!). I can't find anything online to dispute this, unless you've got a source? The comany was founded by a former pilot/military badass type for the specific purpose of use in ops...

I mean, the most covert op it would ever experience with me is sneaking out of the house to go have a beer without telling the wife, or attempting to cloak parts buys online, but i like the look.

Got the sensors installed. Went really well and we did it in about 3 hours. Also got my new wheel caps installed and got new screws for my license plate and put my new frame on. I got black anodized hex head screws. All in all, good day did everything with the girlfriend's help

Nice!

Night

Congrats on that V1 (I assume) install brian

I can't decide which style I like more:

Aren't those illegal in CA?

I thought AR pistols were considered SBR's

those both look like they would hurt your shoulder when you fire it.
