That harbor freight indicator sure looks neat.
Whatever you get, make sure you get something with a long handle. 140 ft lbs is quite an effort on a short wrench.
Make sure you dial down a clicker style one between uses, one reason not to get a second hand clicker.
I have a beam style one, and a couple of clickers, craftsman and husky, IIRC. For fastening a bunch of bolts to the same torque, I much prefer the clicker.
I also don't keep one in the van, giving a breaker bar a good lean is a sufficient approximation for getting me home. FWIW, my spare is on a steel rim, so I'm not terribly concerned about even torque.
