harbor freight torque wrench accuracy?

[caseyj10]

Now that it time to reassemble my 302 I am worried about the accuracy of my hf torque wrench. Has anyone has their hf torque wrench tested for accuracy?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, forgot there is a tool section. But this does involve me assembling my engine so I suppose it still fits?

Just the fact that you had to pose the question, should in itself be a part of your answer. Ask yourself this, would you want engine parts made by the same people that made your HF torque wrench? I didn't think so, don't let your engine build go down the drain from a questionable tool, it's not worth it. Quality tools always pay off in the end, as they will serve you well by getting the job done right the first time and will give more than a lifetime of service. If you can not afford one now, I would borrow or rent one to be sure the engines fasteners are torqued properly.

FWIW, I probably would not use it.
