Editor's Notes

January 09, 2019:

We’ve chosen models both inexpensive and pricey, since many may only need this tool for very few jobs and therefore not want to pay for anything that’s deluxe and built to withstand extensive use. It almost goes unsaid that the single most important factor is accuracy, and from there you can choose whether you want a durable steel model and one with added amenities. Precision Instruments is an industry leader, as is reflected in the number of times it appears in our list. Some of the lightweight, more delicate choices from various manufacturers might be best suited for repairs on bikes, lawnmowers, etc.
