One thing I learned is you have to go all the way from lowest to highest torque on the turn dial then back out to where you need the torque at, it apparently helps retain torque spec
I, and many others, have found the inexpensive Harbor Freight ones to have inconsistently noticeable clicks.
Either may be good enough depending on what you need it for, but I'd personally jump up a quality level to get something more trustworthy.

Breaker bar is used to loosen lug nuts/bolts. They're meant to generate force easily.

Better torque wrenches have nice solid reliable clicks when the set torque is reached.

Engine Oil: 29 lbs
Transmission: 36 lbs
Wheel Nut: 80 lbs
My original plan was to use a 1/2-Inch 10~150 Ft-Lb Torque Wrench on the lug nuts and a 3/8 10~80 Ft-Lb Torque Wrench on the Oil Drain.
In my case, can I use a 1/2-Inch 10~150 Ft-Lb Torque Wrench for the work I want without having to buy a 3/8 Torque Wrench?
Some comments seem to recommend TEKTON more than LEXIVON. Should I purchase this product?

For lugs the 1/2" torque wrench is a good choice.
I got it after doing a LOT of research after looking at a lot of cheap click torque socket wrenches & incredibly expensive electronic/digital torque socket wrenches.
Basically, this little device ('adapter' is probably the best descriptive word for it) attaches to any correctly sized torque socket wrench & ACCURATELY measures torque.
BTW, most of these seem to be 1/2 inch, but there are some in smaller sizes. 1/2 inch seems to be the sweet spot for most diyers. Many diyers already own a set of 1/2 inch sockets.
You basically add this to any standard SOCKET wrench (or any wrench it will fit) & when applying pressure, it'll measure the torque & electronically display it.
I think I bought mine for just under $40. The best part is that it is *highly accurate* (and you can use it with other wrenches you probably already own).
The one I bought a few months ago (I got the 1/2 inch... it comes with 2 size down adapters (3/8 & 1/4) can be seen by clicking on the link below. BTW, I needed one to measure 250ft lbs to do an axle install, and the 1/2 inch was a perfect choice. The unit even comes with a tiny carrying case.
I highly recommend buying this over buying a click torque socket wrench. And buying a wrench with this 'electronic torque measure' built in will likely cost $100 or more (MUCH more).
