I have many torque wrenches in my shop,but my favorite is Snap On TQFR250E. Very precise and you know exactly when you hit your target.

Working on the new aluminum block Hemi engine for my drag pack, I had all of my torque checked at the Charlotte race. The best I had was the "beam-dial" snap-on wrenches. Worst was the click type, also snap-on. The click type had a "sweet" spot for being correct. My click type were off on the low and high sides.

Re: torque wrench recommendation
If you are using the wrench for anything other than torqueing lug nuts , don't buy a "clicker " type wrench .
Dial indicator or beam type are far more accurate ,and for a much longer time. I have my SnapOn 1% dial type wrenches checked every 2 years and also check them occasionally at the ARP trailer . ...The SnapOn's before and after readings are usually within 1%or less. |

What do you all know about the Brown Line Metal Works wrench. I have one, like somethings about it, but not everything.

I run a QC lab for the govt. All we use are snap-on click type. They work well, but as said above, you need to return them to zero after use. I think proto are fine for home use.

The Snap On TorqueMeter style wrench is the best non electronic torque wrench. They have some nice electronic torque wrenches as well. They do offer calibration services. Mine have stayed well calibrated for decades.
