Dude I have like 15 of those little blue led work lights in my mudroom catch-all drawer. I actually pull one out from time to time for quickie things. I'm sure half of them the AAA batteries inside are probably now all crusty but hey, you can't beat free light that came with batteries inside too
They definitely are or were trying to go upmarket and shed the image that they sell cheap crappy tools at rock bottom prices. You can see it with all their various branding across product categories, like the Icon line etc. Getting rid of the 5000 page coupon flyer that had the same coupons for years was probably part of that, to escape the image that everything is available for a coupon. Now I see more emails where they have percent off coupons again across whole product categories so obviously they are learning that some people just bite the lure better when they think they are getting a discount or a deal (wink wink y'all!)
The calibration on these cheap torque wrenches is actually relatively good, the problem with them is that they often fail to reliably produce a noticeable click which can quickly lead to broken bolts and stripped threads.
I get it, that most people do not use torque wrenches a lot, but once you do and get a feel for about what a specific torque feels like, you pretty much know when something is screwed up.
The 18" handle on this version is going to require a reasonable effort for most people at 90 to 100lbs that fit the majority of vehicle lug nuts. Nevertheless, the + or - 4% is just kind of in the ball park for jobs that require precision such as rebuilding an engine, For precision work, I would consider better equipment, or at least something to compare this to for accuracy.
===============
Absolutely! Last week I was at Firestone getting a front end alignment and wheels balanced because I purchased lifetime for both. They use Snap On torque wrenches for all their stores under a national contract. I know the manager and we got to talking about how often they were tested and just curious, we tested four with one so far out from the other three, it needed to be returned to Snap On for repairs/recalibration.
So, how many vehicles left that place with lug nuts not torqued correctly? Who knows, but some were and the tech should have known from experience. Years ago, a Good Year store did not torque lug nuts correctly and I got a wobble on an exit ramp that when checking, three lugs were missing and the rest were quite loose. Those are just personal examples to check your own.
They work fine if you're OK with +/- 5-10 ft/lbs.
I had no issues using either the 1/2" and 3/8" HFT versions.
For more accurate applications, I do have a digital "non-clicking" 3/8 tool and the 1/2" Quinn torque adapter that I am pretty happy with, but in general, I like the simpler operation of the click-torque wrenches provide.

[Edit] If you are going to buy one, before leaving the parking lot or, better yet, in the store, check the torque adjustment for turning smoothly. A few can have a pretty gritty feeling. Pick a different one that turns nicely
Agre with this 1000%. I owned the 1/2 for about a year. Spring seized up despite always being stores at the lowest setting as recommended. Exchanged it but went through a few to test for issues. Most wouldn't go past the 150 ft/lbs mark.
As others have said, don't use this for anything needing exact. They are better used for "close enough".
