I built myself up a nice set of Snap-On buying used from Ebay, usually at around half the new price. It took a while, but it was fun assembling my collection one or two pieces at a time. Now I have the best and they will last forever.
I love my set of 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" Snap-on torque wrenches. I had them calibrated as soon as I got them and they will be good for years. I would never trust a PA or HF torque wrench. I hear a few people on here defending them but I think that's because a) that's what they bought and they need to justify their decision to cheap out on a critical tool or b) they just don't know any better.
Flare wrenches are another tool not to cheap out on. Go with Mac or Snap-On or be prepared to deal with rounded-off fittings.
