    Spyderjerry1, Get all three sizes 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" drives. You will need then all eventually.

    PMK, Any recommendations for a medium price one that's known to be accurate?

    If you plan to torque the axle nut (which is 166 ft-lbs ) get one that is 24" long or more. Some torque wrenches are only about 16-17" long so that they will fit in a standard tool box drawer.

    That extra 6-7" of leverage makes a big difference when you are torqueing those higher numbers, and especially if you don't have a lift and are trying to do it while sitting on your garage floor. DAMHIK.

    As to brand, I have several inexpensive ones (Chinese?) that I bought from Amazon over the years and they all seem to be fairly accurate for the occasional jobs that I do.

    For the rear axle nut I suggest a regular 1/2" torque wrench that will go up to 120 lb-ft used with a torque multiplier wrench such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Bentolin-Moto...s%2C230&sr=8-8
