Hi, guys.
I'm planning to buy torque wrench for my car "tweaking" project. Do you have any tips for me before I buy (where to buy? what to look for? good brand? what to watch out for? etc).
Any info will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi sir. In my case i have been using a 1/2 drive s-k'sbrand torque wrench. Mine is a click type torque wrench, wherein you set your required torque at the bottom of the handle. I find it easy to use because when you feel or hear the click you can quickly stop tightening.
I hope this helps even just for a bit.

Re: Torque Wrench buying tips
Jayl is right, you need first to specify your torque requirement. Specially for those clicker type wrench which has a preset torque.
Bolts & nuts has specified torque, if you set the torque over its allowable specs you will either break the bolt or destroy the nut thread.
