Spent a bit more but now I have one I can trust.

I've got three, a 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" HF torque wrenches and have had zero problems with them. I have a friend who is in the PME business and he has checked/verified all my wrenches over the years. They have never needed adjustment or "re-calibration". They're at least 7-8 years old, maybe older than 10 years ...
That said, when I worked on high performance fighter aircraft and on missiles, we had all our torque wrenches calibrated every 90 days. That's where I met the guy that checks my wrenches for me.
