I really like my 730 series Stahlwille split-beam torque wrenches. Reaching the selected torque produces significant displacement in the handle with correspondingly noticeable click, they're +/-4% of indicated reading over their entire scale, can torque counter-clockwise, have interchangeable heads including fixed and ratcheting 1/4" hex bit holders that fit into tight spaces, allow setting torque instantly using your thumbs with no opposing spring in the torque mechanism, and don't need to be reset to zero for storage.
They feel great.
I have the 730a/2-1 17.5-87.5 inch-lbs, 730/2 4-20 nm, 730/5 6-50 nm / 5-36 ft-lbs, and 730/2 20-100 nm / 15-72.5 ft-lbs.
All use the same 12x9mm inserts which are sized so the torque scales are direct reading with no arithmetic involved.
