Best torque wrenches are from Germany and Stahlwille.

They are one-way only and if you need to torque something with reverse threads just remove the ratchet head and turn it over.

This means there is no problem using the wrench to loosen fasteners.

It also means you can own 3/8 and 1/2 drive heads for the same wrench and you can also fit heads like crow foots, etc.

Also by design there is no need to zero them when in storage.

I've a BMW motorcycle that requires a factory special tool for the transmission fluid drain plug and it's made to fit this wrench. The wrenches are available from the VW and Mercedes parts systems as well as more normal sources.

Best cars are from Germany and best tools, too. Nothing is "best" from Harbor Freight and the smell in those stores gives me a headache.
