Need info about torque wrench selection...

[Howard Siegel <hsiegel@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm getting ready to pickup a set of torque wrenches so I
can do some work on my '02 E46, and wanted to get the groups
advice.

1) What range of wrenches should I be looking to pick up?
   That is, will a set that includes just a 2-29 Nm (2-21
   ft-lb) and a 17-139 Nm (10-100 ft-lb) wrench be enough
   for most weekend mechanic type of work?  Or should I
   go for a "bigger" second wrench (34-210 Nm, 20-150 ft-lb)
   or get a 3rd wrench that goes up to to 348 Nm (250 ft-lb)?

2) How do SK and KD tools in general, and torque wrenches
   in particular, compare?  Any other good brands in the
   same price range as SK and KD?
