I know torque values are important, but I think EQUAL torque is just as if not more important.

Totally agree. I take care care of my tools as well, that's another reason for not havinmg my "good" torque wrench in the truck tool box.; With the humidity and temp swings on the east coast I would't want my good one to possibly rust inside where I wouldn't know about. I' think I boughtmy torque wrences back in the 1970's, long before HF was around here. The inch lb. one is a bar style, not a "click adjustable". I look at a $20 torque wrench as "disposable", if it lasts a few years I'm good with it. HF has come a long way from what they were selling just a few years ago which was IMO a use it once tool supplier.
