Common sense goes a long way when tightening bolts.
I have two SK torque wrenches I bought a decade or two ago. Ft. and In.

Hey Guys,
Is there a general consensus on which torque wrenchs are recommended without spending snap on / Mac type of money?
I have a cheap beam style and really cheap HF that I use for large torque values like tires or suspension but I’m in need of small FT lbs and Inch lbs for thing like transmission filter bolt torque or transmission pan bolt torque
You're overthinking/over worrying about this. I wouldn't recommend the HFT line of torque wrenches if I had ever had any issues with their accuracy in the past 20+ years I've been using them.
Do you ever see a snap on truck driving around? The ones around here have a checker for torque wrenches
I've only dealt with the Snap-On truck once and had no problems exchanging one of my half a dozen Snap-On tools that I either found or bought used but if I brought in a different brand torque wrench to get checked for some reason I would expect to get told to "Get that thing out of my truck!" before getting it checked or "That's so far off it can't be calibrated, buy our latest Snap-On torque wrench." after it's checked. Maybe I'm wrong for expecting too little but the biggest spenders usually get the best results just about anywhere.
