They're not all very accurate - avoid the Harbor Freight ones. I'm not sure what people say about Kobalt.
I know both of my cars call for 148 ft-lbs, so trying to use a 50-150 torque wrench would be less than ideal.
I went to store. In store regular price was $95 which seems more appropriate.
I went ahead and bought this one. I don't use them much and my selling point was the extra length. I have a 150# cheapo wrench and recently I was torquing my 2 post floor lift down. The short handle made that a very labor intensive workout. This one is easily 10" longer than the cheapo i currently have. You would need that extra leverage anyway if you were torquing to 250#.
Also I have some new ARP heads to bolt down on my ford 347. I figured a new torque wrench might be better than my old harbor freight one.
When it comes to handling warranty, I generally prefer HD over lowes. They are not easy as HF but at least they don't suck like lowes - manager at 2 lowes near me are horribly incompetent and are generally pissed off most of the times.

Are you referring to HF's cheap Pittsburgh brand torque wrenches?
