Rock Auto is having a Wiper Blade Closeout, blades are at $4, $3, $2, and $1. Plus shipping. It's a fantastic price!

Thanks for sharing but keep in mind their torque wrenches are quite substandard. I suppose it all depends on what they are used for but I wouldn't use them for assemblies which require precision and have tight tolerances. YMMV

They have a lifetime replacement warranty, which I like. One can't assume they will be quality parts like snap-on for such a low price. You get what you pay for.

One of my torque wrenches I bought from them broke, I took it back and they handed me a new one, no questions asked.

The driver sizes are based on expected torque you want to generate. (1/4, 3/8. 1/2 etc).

There are adapters available to switch from one size to another.

Quality and precision will cost and even the most precise ans sophisticated will need calibration.

Please note, I am not endorsing any product.

I have never used a torque wrench in my life and have been working on cars for 20+ years. My point is its nice to have one cheap as a just in case.

I do endorse this product - as a great deal! All perfectionists need not apply.

Salimshah-you rock.
