the only accurate and good torque wrench is one that is tested and calibrated. you can do this buy getting a travel suit case scale for cheap. you can check that with another somewhat quality and cheap scale.
whether you're buying a $25 or $10,000 torque wrench, you need to check it and calibrate it frequently. same goes for thermometers. same goes for gauges.
keep buying harbor freight kings. the only problem with majority of their normal line and above tools is the user and their lack of knowledge and how to use it. the only time I've seen a harbor freight wrench or socket break was when someone who breaks their over priced snap on tools use them. why? Because a 3/8th wrench can have many different profiles, be made of many different metals, be cast to varying qualities, to varying amounts of mass to withstand specific amounts of torque and specific locations. if you need a beater wrench you'll generally want a wrench with more girth/material. guess what, hf offers both and then some.
if you use a socket on an misshapen part that disperses load in specific points, it'll deform the socket and crack, if not the bolt first. if you use a wrench that is for 50ft lbs and put 75, it'll deflect and break. if you use an ill fitting cheater bar and point a point load on the neck of the wrench vs a pipe that fits snuggly against a larger area, guess what, it'll likely break.
I torque objects from a couple inch pounds to the max, 7000 ftlbs. if harbor freight made sockets and wrenches to handle that, you'd bet I'd buy one if I had the need vs making one, as I usually have to do for the odd sizes at this point.
the biggest problem with cheaper torque devices is their ability to KEEP calibration. you should calibrate before every close tolerance job technically, ie pumps, engines, etc, and you can let it ride on majority if wheel/ brake, strut applications because the margin of error there is generally huge, as long as your parts are machined correctly.
buy a cheap torque device within your torque range with decent sentiment and check it every so often/ every large job. don't be a fool and think you need expensive shit to act as a lever/read you data. not going to look at the reviews for this but I imagine it would work for most people for most nuts on most buildings/ residential vehicles. ie 150 pounds ish is a 1500 truck and below for wheels/ most brakes and 5/8ish grade 5 bolts and below.
if you can find a used device for a decent price, go for it. it won't necessarily be better, but 99% of people will not benefit from a bigger name brand tool, and the majority who have them don't. don't be lured by a family line of mechanics who have been knocking on wrench trucks for generations. if your wrench breaks it could be a poor cast/metallurgy, they do exist. but usually it's because wrong tool. calibrate your shit.

As for MSRP versus prices on sale are a gimmick. Sometimes I am surprised that people really believe these deals. If these devices coming out of Asia had an MSRP of $5000 with a sale price of $50.00, would everyone jump on it? The actual manufacturing costs on this is probably less than $10.

Buy it right, buy it once.

Buy it right, buy it once.
No Mac, no Matco and certainly not "all over" e-bay. I have a quality torque wrench set 1/2" and 3/4" but looked at this as a cool gadget to experiment with and imagine many people are thinking the same (a la "Project Farm").
While I completely agree about buying it once and buying it right, but this is cheap enough to even just use it as a tester to ensure one's good (aka expensive) tool is working as expected and calibrated correctly and for someone who doesn't have much use for one it's cheaper than even a Husky or something you could get at Home Depot.
I bought this vey adapter and when he saw it in my tool box he called me a big pu_ _ y.
It's a nice torque adapter. I paid a bit more for it and have no regrets.
