Seems most consider even Harbor Freight mid, high level torque wrenches the equal of much more expensive ones. But if name brand helps you?
Get one your expected settings toward middle of its range. Don’t get 150 ft/lb max for 140 ft/lb use. Get the 200, or 250.
How often do you use it? I have two auction ones. If they are off. They both are off about the same.
Is + or - 4% a concern? I was once told +20% to under 90% they are more accurate.
But honestly I use them to check tightness.
