Will do a sanity check by getting a more traditional 3/8" deflecting beam torque wrench. Probably use that for the lower torque ranges and it's also useful for spark plugs.

I would at least test the calibration of the dewalt against another wrench or two. The rod bolt torque specs are serious. You May want a 1/4 drive for low torque. The 3/8 may do 10 to 80 lbs but it is most accurate in the middle and the least at the extremes.
A cheap wrench that has been tested may be better than a fancy wrench that is well used and has not been tested.
