What brand of torque wrenches do you all like?

[WestwallNF104A]

Knowing how important torquing is I purchased this 0-150FtLb 3/8" and a 1/2" 0-250FtLb Snap-on while going through MMI for my Harley mechanic certification.

Spent a damn fortune on SnapOn tools that I don't use anymore since breaking my left elbow which required 6 major [hospital stay] surgeries in under a year. Only 30% use of the arm so working on the truck now is definitely a labor of love and pain.

If I ever get my lazy ass in gear I'll go through all my tool boxes and pick out the special tools I should probably get rid of and list them here for my fellow Gladiator buds before just listing them on a marketplace.

Sorry about your elbow, that sucks.

I have:
Craftsman inch pound for small stuff
Kobalt digital 1/2 inch with torque angle I use for engine / gear work
Icon Split beam for lug nuts shocks basically things i don't set for full send on the impact

Funniest Torque wrench moment
My then 11 year old daughter wanted to help do a brake job on moms car... she did all the work but needed help cleaning the caliper slides and the brackets (I use a air die grinder with wire wheel)

When it came time to torque the lug nuts
She was hanging off the split beam and I would have to give it a push since she doesn't weight enough to get to 100 Ft Lbs
