inch-pound torque wrench recommendations

Can anyone recommend an inch-pound torque wrench that starts at 0 inch-pounds? I need to check the pinion bearing preload and would need a beam style torque wrench. Thanks!

I don't know the brand, but the one i have has a round dial, and i really like it.

basically you turn it to the specific torque, and then wrench until you hit zero.

the picture is not mine, but similar.

I have a beam type S&K brand. Works great.
