Default Torque wrench recommendation
Looking for a decent torque wrench for lower values ... say up to 20 ft lb. Any recommendations for a decent wrench that won't break the bank? Looking for the click type. Thanks

In that low range you might consider getting an inch lb. torque wrench that reads up to 250 in.lb.

Yep, they are a leading contender ... maybe a tad more than I am wanting to spend but probably worth it

CDI or Gear Wrench, Snap-On is nice but pricy. Hate to say it ,but Harbor Freight is not bad for the little use a home guy would use them. They are fairly accurate and did well in tests.

I think I remember their icon series testing well.. Will take a look. They have a lifetime warranty and to replace just bring it into any of their stores...

Proto torque wrenches are still made in US.

Not cheap, but not crazy expensive like the Snap On units.
