How we ranked these

We ranked each wrench on the torque accuracy its maker states: within ±2% in both directions first, then ±2% CW with ±3% CCW, then a single 2% model class, then listings that state none. Within a group, a higher stated maximum torque comes first, then a lower published price; where those tie, a longer stated warranty breaks the tie. Prices are as shown on each Tekton, Snap-on, Home Depot or Amazon page; Milwaukee and the GearWrench 85078 list none. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
