Fortunately, I don't need to use my torque wrench very often, but I have switched to a HF $10 unit. Thought I'd give it a chance, and if I didn't like it (within the stipulated 90 days) I'd return it for a refund. I took the HB unit to a machine shop, that builds lots of engines and they have their torque wrenches recalibrated every 30 days, to ensure their accuracy. My HB clicker was barely 2-3#s off from the shop's. For me, and my non-professional use, that's close enough. The original reason I went to HB is that my 30+ year old MAC bit the dust and after spending the freight to ship it back to MAC, I was told that they would charge well in excess of $200 to repair it. Boy, was I disappointed with that "service". Oh well. my 2¢ worth.
