What Torque Wrench Do You Use?

I wouldn't even bother to use a torque wrench for 6ft/lbs. you can do that with your pinky. the purpose of those torque settings is to prevent over tightening. I'd expect few products to be especially accurate at really low settings.

Usually stuff like this is eyeballed but even though the wrench is not 100% at least there's uniformity.
The HF wrench has a +/- 4% so 0.24 up or down is accurate enough for sure.

It would be interesting to tighten down a long straight 6 oil pan by hand and then check torque.
For real intesting to see how consistent people are. Or lug nuts with a tire iron.

On a budget I've found the gearwrench torque wrenches to be pretty good. Accurate when so pared to my Snap On stuff with a much more friendly price.

I used a beam style when assembling motor components, more accurate. But for stuff like lugs I'll use an hft click style.
