Following up: it does look exactly as pictured on Mfg site - a fixed head 1/2 micrometer torque wrench of extremely strong built. Certificate shows high precision with low variation on this one, within 2% max.

Used one for two years in our shop. It is calibrated to 4% accuracy in the clockwise direction. The company we sourced for calibration reported that it was always within the specified tolerance. It saw a lot of use as a production verification unit. Good luck with it.

I have the same wrench with a ratchet. I've owned it for about 5 years. Mine is also within 2% as are the other 3 Proto torque wrenches I have. No issues with any of them. You can send them in to Proto and they will calibrate and repair them very inexpensively.
I have one I bought on ebay for 50 bucks, without the end plug or a case. Sent it in for calibration. They called a few days later and said they would put a used end plug in for free, or a few dollars for a new one, calibration was fine. I went used and when I got it back a week later, it was in a like new case that had a few grease smudges. No charge for that either. Total cost $15.
