On the other hand, these Huskys have a reliable and very noticeable click every time. Well worth the extra cost if you need to torque something important.

1/4" for small parts on engine building (e.g. valvetrain)
3/8" for general suspension, steering, and repairs
1/2" for lug nuts
Bicycles have special allen wrench torque wrenches. An outboard motor would use a 1/$" and a 3/8".
I paid less than $50 for a complete Harbor Freight set. They have worked perfectly for me, but you have to set them up right and know how to use them. A digital torque adapter on a 3/8"
ratchet is a more foolproof method.

proof?
I'm far from the only one that has had poor experiences with them.
I will be using for tire rotation mostly. I can't think of any other usage for now. Can someone recommend which size to purchase please?
1/2 drive. Look up the torque requirements for the lug nuts of your vehicle. Cheaper torque wrenches that go up 150 ft lbs may work, Harbor Freight sometimes has them on sale for $12. This wrench has a way smoother torque adjustment and is easier to hit higher torque settings because it's 2 feet long. Use a 2 foot breaker bar to loosen the nut, HF has rubber handle one on sale for $17 with coupon. Don't use a torque wrench in place of a breaker bar or ratchet. Hope this helps.

If you don't need to exceed 150 ft-lbs. then these are phenomenal deals.

Those are absolutely terrible. I wouldn't buy them other than for lug nuts or something where precision is not critical.
