    Long term every day shop experience with Olsa tools and Tekton 1/2” split beam torque wrenches?

    I'm interested also - but haven't seen any reviews other than the commercialized BoobToob tripe. I'm only a hobbyist/DIY'er so the handle shape is of less concern here .. hopefully someone with experience in what you are looking for happens by
