I have a nice ftlb wrench from matco. Slim head fits in the block nice. 10-100ftlb. Always works and never busted any bolts with it. Oil the threads and go. I also use it every day at work. But I have it calibrated once a year. I think it was $150 when I bought it.

My matco tool dealer has a torque wrench tester to see if its right. You might want to check some of the tool guys to see if any of them have one.
