Torque wrench recommendations
Title speaks for itself--I want to buy a good one with decent accuracy what do you have or recommend?
Will be using it for the C63, E90 BMW and f-150.
Thanks

Mac Tools or Snap-on. Hands down the best tools you can get including torque wrenches. This is coming from a Master tech who has been working at Mercedes for 10+ years.

I'm sure there are many options that are higher quality but for $40 shipped this is a great value -> http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automo.../dp/B0028081GK
I've been using it for a about a year with several wheel swaps. No issues.

Tirerack sells a decent one, that I bought just to torque my lug bolts, I think it was about $30.

Yes and no. Both companies make great tools(except air tools unless that changed) but like most things people are bias to some extent. I had to buy the "certified" measuring beakers for bench flow tests that are $100 each so my customers knew I was using the best to get the best results yet I won't say they are much more accurate than the cheap off the shelf plastic ones you can buy for $5-10.
I have been happy with my Precision Instruments brand wrench (not cheap but reasonable) but I just use it for lug nuts which I assume you will also. http://torqwrench.com/home.php
