Looking at buying myself one second hand. Are there any brands to watch out for or better than another? Probably going pneumatic than electric so I know I need a regulator, any reason for the fancy regulator units in cage other than the drier?

Rad or torque guns

We used RAD guns exclusively and swore by them. Best invention since sliced bread IMHO.
Don't have any experience with other brands.

Same, RAD is all I’ve used. I wouldn’t put that expensive of a unit in front of any regulator other than theirs in my opinion. We had big ones for D11 track bolts and one small enough to roll over a 3516 engine for setting valve lash. They’re pretty handy

I think mine is a hy-torq. Bought it from eBay with a current calibration. Think it goes to 1000 ft lbs. only ever used it to torque track pad bolts. Way better than a breaker bar and cheater pipe
