But have a feeling you meant Precision Instruments.

I've been using the 1/2", and 3-piece 3/4" drive tools, split beam design so you don't have to turn it down like the HF and Craftsman's style barrel wrench which will lose it's accuracy and then what good is it for? The wrench is only as useful as it's calibration.

$10 torque wrench? Why bother, I'd trust my muscle memory before those things. I spend enough time at the track to see lugs come off from being under torqued and lugs shear from being over torqued, not worth saving a few bucks over. The 1/2" can be had for $140.
