Also, a note about something I've read (on FTE and elsewhere). IIRC, you should always zero click types when you're not using them -- keeps them accurate longer.

Yes, always set a click type to "0" after each use. Bonney does offer a calibration service.

There is no place to recalibrate the cheap brands, Great neck for instance and I don't trust any cheap brand, beam or clicker for anything I feel needs a torque wrench on.

I bought the Snap-on TECH3FR250 and it works great. I have a beam craftsman that I use for preloads, but the snap-on torque wrench makes engine jobs go like a breeze
