Recommendations for inch pound torque wrenches Options

[fiacra]

Several recent threads about oil screens has me thinking I need to invest in another tool - a torque wrench that is more accurate at the lower end of scale. To that end, seeking recommendations for which inch pound torque wrench to buy. What do you have and would you recommend it? I suspect there will be lots of different opinions, but lets hear them!

So Ill chime in here.
Most every Avg garage should be equipped with both a inch lb (1/4 drive) & foot lb (3/8 drive) torque wrench. Full stop.
The discussion about brands and quality is great & all, but verification & repeatability coupled with the experiential "feel" mentioned by other cant be overstated..
Working in both Aviation & automotive environments, my own opinion is I place the FEEL higher in value over the digital light and/or tones to creep up an a value, so I like clicker style wrenches.
Beam style wrenches IDK I could never trust, probably because I the ones I could afford were generally crap. In aviation its a different story.

Thanks Rich. I agree that I need another tool. I already have 3/8 and 1/2 inch torque wrenches and I've had both of those tools for over 35 years. The thread about the oil strainer made me think deeper about the need to have something more precise at the lower end of the scale. And yes, the importance of the feel you develop over the years can't be overstated. Do you have any specific 1/4 torque wrenches you recommend? That's really what I've been shooting for. I doubt I'm going to get the "Amazon basics" torque wrench, or a Harbor Freight tool, but I'm also not going to get the Snap-On. Maybe I'm deluding myself that I won't have to spend a ton of money to get something decent, but that's what I'm trying to find out. Maybe Amazon basics and Harbor Freight are decent after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I value the advice of the other members of this forum. Most of you have steered me in the right direction in the past.
