    Agree with this, I have a 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4.
    They work for me, but as said above, I'm not rebuilding an engine with one.

    For know more I use them for they have been go to me.Tight the boat prop,,jack plate lawn mower tires on trailer and truck good to go. Back off to 0 when finish. Also when it's cold out side....I bring them up slow to the torque spec.
    If I was building Motor's on a regular basic I would step it up. For the money and the week end warrior they are ok.

    Which brand from Harbor Freight. They have Quinn, Icon and Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh stuff is $19.99 and the others are north of $100.

    I still use the Craftsman torque wrench that my dad bought in 1966 to rebuild the 428 police interceptor engine that went in my first car.

    Gearwrench torque wrenches are made in Taiwan, they make simpler tools in China.

    I have a 1/2" drive gearwrench digital torque wrench that is great. Most of my hand tools are MUSA Craftsmen but if I ever need to expand or replace anything it will be with Taiwan Gearwrench.
