Default Brownline torque wrench

Has anyone used one of these before? I'm looking for a wrench to do a heads/cam swap and am just wondering if these are reliable.

I bought one in aug and have used it to swap the cam, change head gaskets, install the trunion upgrade and swap the intake. It has preformed great so far. When placing the order use the promo code vette as it will get you a price of $99 shipped with a case.

I work in an air force electronic calibration lab and have not seen this particular model but all the electronic models we calibate are dead on accurate and dont vary in repeatability like mechanical wrenches. The electronic transducer in these are excellent for reliability.

I just got the electronic torque wrench from Eastwood and I really like it. I haven't had the chance to use it but it came with more features and a case.
