Cheap Tire Torque Wrench to DIY

I just picked up a cheap Torque Wrench PT Performance Tool ( 10 to 150 ft.Lb. range) from Pep Boys for $19.99, list price $ 50.84 and 19mm Craftman long socket from Sears Hardware store. I set @ 80 Ft.Lb. and work really well . It has 18" long handle that make the job so easy. Sears sell for $70.00.

The service manual says 79.6 so yes 80 would be fine.

great price... I returned the one from Sears because of the price too...
even though I know there are some others that are more expensive.
I'll check our local Pep's

Does your wrench clicks and releases when you achieve the right torque
to avoid over-tightening (like Craftman) ?
