Default Torque wrench recommendations please

Torque wrench recommendations please. Have a drawer full of std measurements but non with the angle finder. Best to have all of my old school std and add a digital angle wrench or do a combo? What brands have been good to you?

Putting together my first shortblock on the LS platform and want to do as best I can to make it last. Thanks for helping this rookie.

Harbor Freight has the digital torque adapters which get pretty good reviews. They are probably more accurate then slick type wrenches for engine work.

This AC Delco is a dream to use. It's priced CHEAP for how good it is. Ft./lbs AND Torque Angle with beeps as you get close to your mark. The great thing is the peak Ft./Lb recall after you Torque angle a bolt. It helps you spot fasteners that may have yielded or threads that may have issues.

I'm a big fan of CDI torque wrenches.

Tekton's line of torque wrenches look really nice, too. I have been buying more and more from them lately. I don't have any of their torque wrenches, but everything else I have gotten from them has been top notch.
