I think I can't hear it click anymore. What is a good size you guys like for general use? I still can use this big thing for large stuff, but at most, I only need it up to about 120-140lbs for most suspension work. I'm cheap and this isn't something I use often. 100 bucks or below, maybe? Any thoughts?
Used precision instruments off ebay 1/2 dr- maker of Snap-On.

Don't buy a 3/8 for that torque range.
