Had a customer's car come back with a loose lug nut after I did the brakes...

It was on a 2018 Ford F-150 last Tuesday, and they drove about 50 miles before they felt the wobble. I double-checked my torque wrench and realized I'd been using the same click-type one for almost 8 years without having it calibrated. Now I'm sending mine out for a check every year. What's a good, reliable brand for a daily-use torque wrench you guys trust?

After that scare, I switched to a Snap-on digital torque wrench... never looked back.

Snap-on is solid, but my shop's been using Precision Instruments split-beam wrenches for years. They hold their calibration way longer than click types in my experience.
