One thing to be aware of is if using the Snap on/ Precision instruments split beam type such as:

You cannot use this wrench CCW ie to break the nuts lose as it will damage the wrench causing it to go
out of calibration ( ask me how I know)

If you think you'll use it to break the nuts loose you should buy the "micrometer type"

Dan, do you use a solid breaker bar to release the nut?

Milwaukee 1/2" Impact is awesome. Thing I like is the batteries are interchangeable with sooo many other tools I use all the time in the garage..

I have both the ingersoll rand impact gun (air powered) , I used my nitrogen tank and the snap on tool in box . Both barely used. Make me an offer.

I just looked at the torque wrench. It's been in my garage for years. I think I paid $900+ for it. It has corroded a bit. The switch is locked up. You maybe able to send it back to snap-on for a reconditioning. If you want I'll give it to you. Better than it rotting away in my garage. If you want it send me your address I'll ship it to you. Cheers.
