I bought some winter tires/wheels from forum member Alex57r (drove down to Queens for pickup, Alex is a cool dude).

I was gonna have the tires/wheels installed but now I am planning on doing it myself. So can someone recommend a floor jack and torque wrench for this purpose.

The winter tires/wheels don't have TPMS, I will tolerate the warning light until I have to put on the summers back on.

 

The jack that comes w/ your car is adequate for changing your tires, I wouldn't recommend it for regular servicing of your vehicle but for a few tire changes they're fine.
I have this Harbor Freight low profile floor jack and has two hydraulic pistons and has worked well and can usually find coupons or sales on them for about $70

I have an older version of this torque wrench and has performed well for about 15yrs. Not sure if this current model will last as well but would be fine for average home garage projects.

^What Blnewt said.

However, I would recommend this torque wrench instead. There's a lot of talk about how torque wrenches can become inaccurate over time, probably wouldn't happen but it's enough to weird me out with mine. Wish I would have grabbed this the first time, it's electronic. Set the torque, it will beep once there, and automatically shuts itself off so you don't have to worry about a spring wearing out/becoming inaccurate.

 

Also make sure you use the nylon covered sockets or you will be sad. Oh and even electronic torque wrenchs have to be calibrated every so often.

 

Where would you go to get it calibrated?

 

Torque wrench for putting on tires? That's a little to far for me, but whatever floats your boat. Nylon coated sockets are a good idea though if you care to save the rims a little bit of wear and tear.

 

True, but I don't think most of us here don't need to worry about our torque wrench wearing out or losing accuracy.

Most here might use it 2 or 3 times a year, if that. As long as it's not stored in the rain or anything, I wouldn't worry about it.

The cause for concern would be shops that use their tools several times a day, everyday for months or years.
