Got you beat.....My first torque wrench is a Montgomery Ward and the ratchet head is messed up.

Got it for my 15th or 16th birthday. My mother asked what I wanted and I told her, torque wrench. It was and still is the single best present I've ever received.

I went on a rampage a few years ago and bought a bunch of Snap-On dial torque wrenches. They are really nice for doing more precise work, and as you're sneaking up on maximum torque and the bolt starts to give (yield) it is pretty obvious. But the micro click torque wrendh is my favorite for reassembly in a hurry or in tight spots.
