Looking for a nice 3/8" drive torque wrench, 5 ft-lbs on the low to whatever (most are 80) on high. I don't care all that much about brand, I just want a nice ratchet-style click-type torque wrench.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Don't have one to sell you but I got mine here:

I paid $11.99 when on sale (they are always on sale). If you have a store near you I would check if it's on sale. I was a bit skeptical of it's accuracy, so I put it up to the challenge against my better, more expensive Craftsman torque wrench and it was spot on.
I'm happy with it.

i got mine from craftsman. Not the digital one, but the one you have to turn the knob on to change the torque setting.
I started my head gasket job with an inexpensive torque wrench, a $30 spring/click type you describe. Then an inattentive friend wasn't paying close enough attention to the wrench and sheared the head off a valve cover bolt. From that point on I borrowed a Snap-On digital torque wrench that beeped and vibrated when you reached the torque setting. That thing was great but it's a much bigger investment.
