HarborFreight is better for 10-13 when on sale. Eitherways to get calibrated wrench, tekton or icon from HF is better price.

IMHO, not necessarily better than going by feel. I don't know this particular wrench, but many people with the HF equivalent find that it doesn't noticeably click and they end up overtorquing or breaking their bolts. If they'd been using a normal wrench they probably would've stopped before getting to the breaking point, but went beyond what they otherwise would've thought was reasonable because they were relying on the torque wrench to tell them when to stop and it never did.

Don't forget the warranty is way easier at HF than the barely existent amazon one. Once in a white I need to warranty my amazonbasics phone wires with lifetime warranty and it takes a good 20 minutes.

I got mine for $15 in March at HF. Same price for 1/2" and 3/8". I bought all 3. I think they have lifetime warranty.

Probably much better than the "by feel" alternative for most people buying a super cheap torque wrench, so...overall good?

They should. And even if you think they are off, they have no way to test, so they just replace.

Probably good enough, I also got a cheap torque wrench that looks exactly the same and tested it with a luggage scale, it was quite accurate.

Yea Pittsburgh. Tekton is on Amazon. If you want similar quality, Icon from HF would do. I would get Icon if it were a regular and make sure to calibrate it. Pittsburgh was okay out of the box but storing and using it irregularly, needs calibration.

Torque is in units of force multiplied by length of the lever arm, so 200 in-lb (which this wrench specifies) is quite different from 200 ft-lbs. 200 lb is not a unit of force...

Ha thanks. I wondered how the heck a tiny 1/4" torque wrench was pulling 200 ft-lbs for this price. 🤦

What's the best torque wrench for lug nuts that people have experience with?

For car wheel lug nuts, I usually use a combination of a 1/2 in breaker bar (after the service/tire center used a pneumatic wrench to put on the nuts) to get the nuts off, and then a click type 1/2 inch torque wrench to torque them back on. I don't think that the accuracy of Harbor Freight's wrenches would be a problem for purpose of lug nuts, and those are cheap. Just re-check the nuts and retighten after driving 50-100 miles. https://www.harborfreight.com/12-...63882.html
