Harbor freight. get it cheap if you are using it once.
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.

People say that all the time, but man I have had a lot of good luck with their Pneumatic tools and hand tools. They have all the specialty tools. I wouldn't buy my meters or socket set from them, but much of their stuff is pretty good, and you can get a warranty on almost anything.

Does grainger have a store around here? From what I've gathered it's all online ordering, I need it NLT Monday

Harbor Freight and search internet or 20% or 25% off coupon.

My front hub nuts on my F150 need to be torqued to 295 ft.lbs. I called all the parts stores about their loaner tool program and all them said theirs was 100-150 ft. lbs max. Ended up taking my truck to the tire store I frequent and they torqued the front axle nuts for free.
Torquing a nut with a crows foot to 250lbs sounds like a good way to get a black eye or a broken nose when you punch yourself in the face.

The majority of cheap torque wrenches..under 150, are made in China these days.
I bought three click style craftsmans from sears that had to be returned because they were cheap chinese crap and were way off new.
The ten dollar half inch torque wrench I bought from harbor freight when I was in a jam one saturday reads to within 2 ft lbs.
Is it a german stahlwille? No.
Does it work? Yeah.
Bought a few and put them in all the vehicles for spare tire changes.
There are lots of things you shouldnt buy at harbor freight, but if you arent buying a german, US, japanese, or swedish torque wrench...they are better than ANY of the other chinese ones.
250lbs is a lot of torque. What are you doing?
For that amount of torque, use an 18 inch breaker bar and lean on it. Cant imagine what needs to be that tight yet precise.

Nonsense. For most stuff the HF works just fine.
I have damn near every kind of tool you can think of from Snap On, MAC & Ingersoll Rand down to HF.
I broke a $5 HF 3 jaw puller once and a 10 year old grinder went out, but hey so did my Bosch.
A crow's foot and torque wrench... go for it.
