HF Torque wrenches best deal out there. The locking know at the bottom is unique to them... but they are rated highly:
Carcraft magazine:
http://blog.harborfreight.com/car-craft-reviews-torque-wrench/“… we also tested Harbor Freight’s 1/2-inch clicker torque wrench, and it was also very close. It also has a range of 20 to 150 lb-ft and a lifetime warranty. Accuracy after five consecutive tests at 70 lb-ft ranged from 68.8 lb-ft (-1.2) to 70.3 (+0.3), with an average error of 0.30 ft-lb over five tests. It doesn’t get much better than that for a mechanical torque wrench.”
Not releasing the preload will kill ANY torque wrench. Always set it back to ZERO when done.
