I have a 1/2" drive ratchet 0-200 ftlbs.
Not sure of the brand, but it would be quality, considering where I "picked" it up from. |

picked one up from ebay - brand new. can't recall the brand (might be Ampro - would need to check) but it's a top unit. saw some later at Supercheap that were cheaper.

ive got a repco 1/2" torque wrench, 30-200Nm, it was around $200 bucks on its own, but it was apart of my toolkit when I got it, tools are usually cheaper when they are in a set
