HF also has a low cost ~$30 digital torque adaptor that comes with a calibration sheet. You can use that to check and adjust the reading on their $12 torque wrench.

As others have said, if you wrench for a living or are building an engine, you need high quality very accurate tools. For most DIY, HF is fine.

As a side note, I checked my el-cheapo HF torque wrench against my indy's expensive just calibrated snap-on and was within 1%

HF also has a lifetime warranty, so if it breaks or is too far off, they will replace it free
