Default Cylinder Head bolts and Apco Mossberg Torque Wrench?

Hi Guys-

So I am doing a HG on my 1994 Accord EX F22B1 beater and need to torque the Head bolts properly in order to avoid any headaches.

I bought this Apco Mossberg torque wrench(1/2"), have a look on the attached pictures and advise if you think it's any good?

I need to make sure that Torque wrench is good and accurate before I do the bolts.

Thanks for your help

Unless those have a reputation for quality and accuracy, I don't see how looking at pictures can tell you anything.

Honestly, I do not have any experience with this brand but was wandering if you or anyone else has used it?

They are American(MA) made and seems pretty old and reliable but again I am telling based on my research from the internet, no experience.

Would appreciate any input or feedback.

Even if those are the best torque wrenches in the world(I dunno,never heard of em) looking at it will tell you squat. The calibration/accuracy should be checked....

Not really sure how the general public would go about doing it,you'd have to do some research. Technicians typically have the option of giving their torque wrench to their tool suppliers. They send the wrenches in to be tested. I send mine in every 5 years. Just did so earlier this year.
