No offense but some of us can't buy tools that would cost 1/10 of the cost of our car. Also, not being a shop, I can not first of all deduct from my income taxes (likely knocking at least 25% off cost) and secondly, recoupe from my customers. Nothing wrong with any of that, I just can't do it. Yeah we would all love to have the best of tools but sometimes it just isn't wise money. Sometimes we have to cross our fingers and just hope for the best. Based on everything posted here, ideally I would want a snap on tool but it appears for my purposes, something cheaper seems more logical. I will then cross my fingers and pray often to "Ferdinand". Forgot who the boxster designer was.

Amazon reviews can be helpful, there's bound to be someone with extensive use of a tool doing a review. This clicker sold by Lowe's for $45 but Amazon has it for just under $40 with free shipping if you've got Prime. The HF 1/4" is $22.

TEKTON 24320 1/4-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench, 20-200-Inch/Pound - - Amazon.com

store the torque wrench at the lowest setting to preserve accuracy...
