304+ FT/LBS Torque Wrench

I need a bigger torque wrench for my timing belt change on my Supra.
It needs 195 ft/lbs for the crank pulley.
As my Craftsman doesn't go that high I need a new one.
For $119 I can get a Craftsman one that goes to 250ft/lbs.
But if I am going to buy a new one, may as get one that will go to 304ft/lbs so if I need to remove the crank pulley on the 80 I can reset it to 304ft/lbs.

Who sells one that will go to 304+ that is not china crap????

the one we have at work goes up to 600 ft/lbs but it's 3/4 drive. snap-on.

does a 1/2" drive goes to 300+ ft/lbs?

Not one that I've ever seen. I am also looking for something in that range for my big truck wheel lugs.

Do you want Dial or ratchet style? Proto makes a makes a decent product, I know everyone has opinions on what is best for their money though.

For occasional use I might just consider a lever and a pull-scale...

Lever length (ft) x linear force (lbs) = torque
