These are cool.
Turn any ratchet into a torque wrench.

I’ve seen these used when people do torque tests.

I purchased a 1/2in ToolPro originally from Supercheap when they were on special,
and realized the range wasn't low enough for small bolts,
So I looked around and seen a 3/8in on eBay and was in new condition, as I need it to do the LIM & SC on Super6,
When I went to pick it up, the seller had a 1/4in also, so I purchased that as well,
The seller sold both to me for a great price.

I've got 1/2"
I've got 3/8" (most used item)
And I have 1/4"

Also have a simple 1/2" deflecting beam that I mostly use for wheel nuts and less precise precision stuff (if that makes sense)

I'll come back and fill in brands and ranges later....

A follow up to the follow up.

After watching these vids, I asked the young bloke (approaching 2nd year of his heavy diesel apprenticeship) where he holds a torque wrench.

Him...err, on the handle.

Me....and what happens if you hold it further up ?

Him....err, the torque will be wrong.

*err = teenager version of obviously.
