I did see a very high tech torque wrench later in the day that is incredibly precise and expensive ($280-350). It was not a click type of wrench but used a sensitive strain gauge and would warn you if you applied to much torque. You can search the internet for the ‘1/4 In Dr Computorq3 Electronic Torque Wrench’. It is made by CDI Torque Products.
Per their blurb “The COMPUTORQ3 Electronic Torque Wrench is a simple to use digital readout wrench that displays real time torque values in any of four torque units, ft.lbs., in.lbs., Nm, kg.cm. Simply set the desired torque value and apply force until the green LED illuminates. Great for light industrial, automotive, motorcycle, watercraft and aircraft applications.”

I think the vice grip tool is awesome. If you currently have a chainwhip you probably won’t buy it but I’m just putting together my tool kit and guess what I’m buyin’ it. eff a chainwhip

That torque wrench looks far too similar to the one made by Pro…

[...] Cool Tools Park and Pedro’s had some very nice new tools on the market this year, but two of them are interesting enough to place as a tie for tools that I covet. Those tools are the Pedro’s Vise Whip [...]
