Harbor Freight Precision Tools

The caliper would be quite usable for our purposes.
I'd go with the SK T-wrench.
I wouldn't trust a $30 torque wrench.  (I know; I had one...)

  Does anyone have any experience with the dial calipers or the torque
  wrenches offered by Harbor Freight?  I have purchased a few of the
  larger tools or the infrequently used tools and am quite satisfied
  mainly due to the price.  I do not use them often so they are not relied
  upon for daily use.  I even picked up one of their engine stands for
  $49.00 delivered!  BTW, everyone should have an engine stand.
  Anyway, on to the question, they have a LCD display caliper for less
  than $30 and a dial for $15.  Also they have a 3/8 drive torque wrench
  for less than $30 and an SK wrench for $90 however; the specs and
  tolerances are the same.  It looks like you have to go to Snap-On tools
  to get any better than +-4%.  Opinions welcome!
  Thanks, Rick.
