Re: Inexpensive torque wrench for power panel lugs?
Here is a beam-type you'd be looking at:

Here is the clicker-type I use on my race car, just for reference:

Both are +/- 4% accuracy.
For the un-initiated: the advantage is that the clicker-type will tend to prevent over-torquing and is largely 'idiot proof' because it doesn't require eye-balling the torque measurement. The clicker has the same repeatability with an inexperienced user as a beam-type does with a good user. Just zero it out when you're done and it'll last a long, long time.
