I use to work for a motorcycle shop (built and worked on bikes) when I lived on the west coast.
The torque wrenches I loved were split-beam style wrenches.
It used the beam style ( which I use today for lug nuts and axle bolts ) and combined it with the clicker style. You basically got a best of both worlds torque wrench that doesn't lose calibration.
Seriously, we had one that was probably over 10 years old and was used every week that was never out of spec. Didn't have to get it recalibrated ever.
The company that makes them makes the Mac Tools rebranded as well.
They are Precision Instruments brand.
Here is the
1/2 in version

I swore there was a 1/4 version but I cannot seem to find it. I personally just have a crappy craftsman click style but boy I never used it when I could use the shop tools.
