Need a Good torque wrench

A second vote for Tekton... I'm not a heavy user (three cars x 4 wheel swaps x 2 a year x five years now?) plus other occasional use (e.g. motorcycle handlebar or headbolts or exhaust swaps). It's been great, but I have no reference point. Somehow, I think Alan will go for something heavier duty... It's top torque is something like 160ft-lb, but I doubt I'd use it for anything beyond the Porsche 120-130ft-lbs or whatever they are (I look it up every time). BMW, Audi/VW are all 90 to 100ft-lbs.
