Proto torque wrenches

Just wondering who uses them and what they think of them, I read nothing but good things about them and have been thinking about picking up one to use on my motor , what do you guys think? Do you like them? And why?
Thanks in advance

I use them at work, they seem fine. I like them better than the crapsman I have at home.

Re: Proto torque wrenches

I heard they were 1 of the better brands out there, and the tests done on them are pretty exstensive

We use them in the Navy they are OK and they can be calibrated. I have never broken one.

Re: Proto torque wrenches

If they pass initial cal and are cared for correctly they do very good, better than snap on from what I've seen. Only calibrated a few hundred in my life
