Not even like Knipex, Wera, or a similar German tool company?

If it's manufactured in a western country, it's probably fine, I don't think you see too many like that here in the U.S.

It's usually either American, Taiwanese or Chinese, and a reputable shop like Angle Repair, for example, absolutely will not touch a Chinese torque wrench, and might only ever touch a Taiwanese torque wrench if it's a warrantied item on one of their supported brands, and probably only with some arm twisting on the part of the vendor they're doing warranty work for.
