Maybe "Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory Edition Signature Series torque wrench. The kind used by Caltech high energy physicists. And NASA engineers"?

Omg. That is awful. I can only imagine how that felt. I'm trying to balance claims that they are accurate vs. reliable. Maybe I'll stay away from rebuilding engines with these!

I have two of each just because they are cheap, I use the other one to verify the torque, until now, I haven't see much of inaccuracy

So.....
Let's say it is off by 50%... it still clicks after a certain amount of torque...how will you know it has deteriorated and is not longer clicking at the 'set' torque?

What's the torque range for these? I have the non-ratcheting kind for higher-torque applications but could use a ratcheting one for lower-torque ones. It's for my road bike, not a car or anything big.

Otherwise,...

3/8" is most common. But 1/2 definitely has its use if you are mainly using it for lug nuts. I'd get both at this price.
