I have had the HF one for a while now. I use it mostly for lug nuts but have also used it for suspension on my truck and my lawn mower blades.

I've checked it against a friends snap-on and it "seemed" right on. I've never felt "unsafe" or "unsure" of bolt torque from its use.

If you were going to rebuild a motor, I'd suggest a higher end torque wrench as connecting rod and head bolts require alot more precision. But even then, the manufacturers usually give you a 2-3 ft-lb tolerance.
