Pittsburgh
3/8 in. Drive Click Type Torque 3/8 in. torque wrench provides a range from 5-80 ft. lbs.$20
Can't beat that! :thumb:

I would also suggest you get the 1/4" drive Pittsburgh torque wrench as well since it's the one that will torque in inch pounds, the 3/8" and 1/2" drive both torque in foot pounds, both the inch pound and the foot pound torque wrenches are needed for the various different size bolts and nuts on any passenger type vehicles.

Which one you use will depend on the actual torque specs of the fastener you're dealing with.

You stated that the BFT torque was the only one that was in calibration, which I find interesting as well, my question would be that HFT actually doesn't make any of the tools they sell, they have 3 different brands of torque wrenches listed on their website... Pittsburgh, Icon, and Quinn...which of these brands is the brand you're referring too as a "HFT" torque wrench?

If memory serves, it was a Pittsburgh 1/2 drive like the one I have. Pretty sure that's all they carried until recently. I've had mine since 2007. Was tested in 2014. Hasn't been tested since.
