Digital Torque Wrench Recommendations? Options

[DC_neun_vierzehn]

Hello friends.

As title states, I'm looking for a recommendation on a digital torque wrench for working on my 914 (must go as low as 9 FT-LBs for the oil strainer).

I see a lot of options out there via Google searching and the prices are all over the map. I know this community knows their tools, so I trust your recommendations on an accurate, reliable, affordable digital torque wrench.

Beam type are stupid accurate and cheap. I use them all the time. My inch/lb units are all beam style. Old and accurate as hell.
You have to know how to use them.
The good ones have a handle that is on a pivot, and you need to "float" the handle between the stops to achieve an accurate reading.

Split beam torque wrenches can be left at any torque settings, and it won't jack with them. The Precision brand is the top dog of the split beams. they really do make the "Snappy" ones. Expensive but worth it if you're using it a bunch. My overall best choice for high end torque wrenches.

Wind up clickers have to be wound down to their lowest torque settings for storage or they WILL go out of calibration. You leave them at lowest torque reading, not all the way down!
My normal Snappy is this style. I've used it for 3 decades, sent it in for calibration twice and it has never needed adjustment. I am an ABSOLUTE BITCH about winding it down for storage.

I do NOT use a torque wrench that has batteries. I never have.
They might be fine, but I've found the old analog stuff is commonly more accurate than the new-fangled digital stuff.

A modern digital oscilloscope is useless. AN old analog oscilloscope is the way to go IMO.
You need a CRT to see all the trash (which is sometimes the root of the problem) and the new stuff cleans all that up...
