Bought a tool box from a co-worker in a tight spot. Ended up with two or three Snap-On 3/4 drive 0-600lb dial torque wrenches. te-602 and te-602L. Anyone used one, any good. Calibrated in 1993 but he said he hadn't used them much since. thanks.

Re-read your post, now I see, its a dial type. I have one of these, but no extension handle. The handles were available in various lengths and DO NOT affect the accuracy of the wrench, unlike other types of torque wrenches. Had mine calibrated at work, checked very accurate, the technician said they will always stay accurate unless you overtorque them, in which case they are trash.

If you have any extra extension handles (with the spring loaded lock button on them) I would be interested in one.

The torque wrench you have is the most accurate you will find as they are in reality an open beam wrench which is the most accurate in an enclosed casing.They were made by(CONSOLIDATED DEVICES).They come in 1/4thru1&1/2 inch drive.Click type are the most inaccurate contrary to what most think.CENTAUR

I love my click type Snap On 250lb torque wrench, and I feel that it is far more accurate than either the dial type or the floating needle. Except for the very rare left handed thread, I would never use the others. When I went to the Navy's Engineman class A school, they were teaching that the most accurate torque wrench is the Clic type, and it was listed as required for many Subsafe QA jobs.

Trouble is, ya gotta take care of 'em or else they are very quickly not worth anything at all. After ya use the clickers, you're supposed to unload them and set them back at 0 foot pounds or else things start to change, so 30 lbs really isn't 30 lbs anymore.

An old school beam type doesn't have that problem. It just indicates with the pointer how much torque ya got on it.

Snap On torque wrenches usually bring good money on Ebay and have fairly competitive bidding. Are these dial type or clickers/micrometer type?

You can check with your Snapon salesman to see if they can calibrate them. Hal

Best wrench ever made. Set the dial on the spec wanted and pull the handle back to zero(O is easier to see than a small number)

I will give you 5 dollars for them.
No really, even old Snap on Torque wrenches sould be quite valued.
I would not sell the ones I have. Some of mine are over 20 years old and are as good as new esp. the dial indicator ones.
