Great deal on HFT's updated torque adapter (with 25% coupon). Unlike the previous version, this new version has 3 beeping led lights and an audible sound progression to let you know when you've hit the target torque. Plenty of videos out there on YouTube, as well -- these things tend to be quite accurate. Claimed accuracy of +/- 2%.
- Convert any 3/8 in. drive ratchet or breaker bar into a precision torque wrench with this digital display torque adapter. Three LED indicator lights and a progressive audio notification alert the user when desired torque value is reached.
- High quality display for easy measurement readings
- Memory function records last 50 torque readings
- Easy-to-read digital display provides measurements in: ft. lbs., N-m, kg-m
- Accurate within +/- 2% clockwise and counterclockwise
- Torque range: 5.9 to 59 ft. lbs.

For those interested, here's the link to the user manual: https://manuals.harborf
Also, you'll note it states the following in the pdf user manual:
6. The Adapter contains three unit selections: Kg-m, ft-lb and N-m for 58707;
Kg-cm, Kg-m, ft-lb, in-lb, N-m for 58705 & 58706
The torque adapter in OP is, of course, the 58705 (3/8"), so this model and the 58706 (1/2") model both do inch lbs.

Ended up getting this digital adapter for ft-lbs that are too much for the 1/4" torque wrench, but too insensitive for the 3/8" torque wrench. Going to rebuild the engine, so I need some precision and no damage to the block.

I would not let one of the cheap HFT 3/8 torque wrenches anywhere close to precision torque work around an engine block. The great thing about digital is you can monitor the progression. So, if you need 38 ft lbs and you think it feels tight, already, you can see where you're currently at on the digital readout. This new version is even nicer as it adds LED lights and audible warnings as you approach your programmed max torque setting.
