I picked up this one a while back. Not a lot of use but so far so good.

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.

I love my Kobalt 1/2 drive 50 to 250 torque wrench...all 26.38 inches of it...

OK guys, my experience has been that size generally doesn't matter--it's what you do with it that counts. But when it comes to lil' ol' me getting 140 ft-lbs of torque on my lug nuts...I want those 26 inches.
