Thanks everyone, Anyone have any experience with a wilmar performance tool torque wrench?

Most of the Wilmar torque wrenches I Googled looked to be the same make as Harbor Freight.

It might be accurate but it's going to feel like it's full of sand and at the low end of the adjustment range you won't hear the feeble click.
I wouldn't recommend it for professional use on other people's cars.

Agreed, i was looking at the other "craftsman look alike" but the more i think about it the less interested i am. I think i will go get the 1/4 SO and buy another 3/8 from the indy guy at work. He just started to carry cdi wrenches so im curious to see them first-hand, always wanted a p-i split beam but the ranges dont suit me.

I use mine a lot on motorcycle stuff.

I've used mine on transmission pan bolts.

Rotor to hub mounting

...I suppose there are torque specs for the microscopic screws used in cellphones but when you get that small I trust "tight enough".

Wiha makes torque screwdrivers for that sort of thing.

Second this. Especially triple clamp bolts, if you over tighten they warp the fork tube and can bind the action of the lower leg.

I used mine a lot when I rebuilt two automatic transmissions. I think I used it other times but I can't remember what it was for.

I used mine weekend before last when I cleaned the throttle body. There's alot of plastic and aluminum under the hood of my Focus so as has been mentioned I've used it in the past for the valve cover, and a bunch of other things that are fairly low torque. I'd say I've used it enough to justify buying that Snap-on one if I could get a deal like you have. But mine is just a cheap harbor freight version. It gets the job done.

I use mine all the time working on bicycles. Carbon fiber components do not like to be over tightened.
