I need a torque wrench that can exert 250 ft-lbs of torque, also need to attach it to a crows foot for a 1.5" nut and a 1.125" nut.

What places in BR do y'all think carry this? Lowes/home depot do not.

This. Because it sure isn't going to last more than once coming from there. But their selection of crap is huge. If not them, try Grainger.

HF only carries torque wrench up to 150 ft-lbs.

Kobalt all metal with lifetime warranty. Kobalt and Husky torque wrenches are actually made by the same company that makes Blue-Point(Snap-On's cheap brand)
They recently cut their price by nearly half.

Crapsman torque wrench only gives you 90 day warranty

What are you building? Because i'm going to tell you, if you are'nt dealing with a bearing or some sort, dont worry about a torque wrench. Just tighten it, don't strip it.

Sears may have it if you need it this weekend.

I rent and sell torque wrenches for a living. I have plenty of 250ftlb 1/2" drive if you want to rent one for a day. Crows foot fittings are a safety nightmare. I doubt I have the sizes you need in stock. Usually takes 3-4 days to come in. FYI crowsfoot slightly changes actual applied torque from wrench
