Yeah, that sucks having a faulty torque wrench for sure.

Ive got the 3/8s drive, it works great, and from what Ive seen it stays calibrated great. It records the force needed to break loose a bolt and its pretty damn close to what the bolts are torqued to with other wrenches. I only paid 160 or so for mine brand new from a pawn shop though, good deals can be found if you know where to look

Good thought, never thought to check a pawn shop. That would def save some cash.
