Torque Wrench Recommendation

My old torque wrench bit the dust and I need to purchase a new one. I've looked at plenty online and read hundreds of reviews and if anyone had a really good one they'd like to recommend. I've been looking at something like this Neiko Pro 03709B 1/2 Inch Drive Adjustable Torque Wrench 50 to 250 Foot Pound | eBay or this Neiko 03713A Adjustable Torque Wrench 3/8-Inch, 5-80 Foot-Pound / 6.8-108.5 Nm, | eBay Thanks, Terry

I've been using one from Home Depot for the past 15-20 years. I bought it after a Sears Craftsman bit the dust. I've used this one from Home Depot to build lots of small block Chevy race motors, and I have no complaints. I bought it because the clerk on duty told me it has a lifetime warranty. I'm not so sure it does, but that hasn't been an issue so far.

I bought these torque wrenches from Harbor Freight, they were on sale for $11.99 each.
3/8" Drive Click Type Torque Wrench
1/2" Torque Wrench

They work well and even have fairly decent reviews.
Of course, they are not made for professional use, but for the handful of times I need them each year, they work fine.

Harbor Freight

Look around and you will probably find their current coupon good through February at $9.99 for all three 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" wrenches. They are ubiquitous and had 2 ads in this Sunday's paper.

Make sure that once in a while you have someone check the calibration you your TW. They do go out occasionally...
