I don't know if I would use one with a digital readout, those are expensive to calibrate and it cannot be done by the user. I use the twist type, bought it from Harbor Frieght, seems to work more than well enough for me, and the fact that I can calibrate it myself means it is much more useful. Good luck

How accurate is the HF torque wrench?
I was at HF store one day and they are pretty cheep but I was hesitating to buy it
I need it to do the valve cave and timing cover. And it seams that the bolts are very easy to über tighten without good torque wrench.

I recently bought a Schwaben torque wrench from ECS Tuning it was about $30 I used it to do plugs, tranny and diff fluid change on my car did the job. They have 4 different ones to choose from.
