I’m not familiar with the brakes on this type of car. So all I can offer is a generic suggestion.
Is there an e-brake cable, that might be sticking? Possibly adjusted too tightly? Could it be removed, long enough to see if this affects the issue?
A new hose can never hurt, and sometimes can solve the problem. Since hose problems typically happen internally, the damage isn’t always visible. A new hose, isn’t very expensive, and would eliminate a potential cause of the problem you’re having.
If it were my car, I’d eliminate all the other potential problems, before I bought a new caliper. This way I’d feel that I’d sufficiently isolated the problem. And know that I hadn’t overlooked a cheap, easy fix.I’m not familiar with the brakes on this type of car. So all I can offer is a generic suggestion.

Maybe you should look at getting a cart, and free up some space in the box. Used name brand carts sell for reasonable prices on CL.I’ve heard good things about the us. general boxes also, but only in the bigger sizes. The 26in. double stack not so much.

What I can say, is that click type torque wrenches have to be calibrated every few years to be dead accurate. But if I’m not mistaken, the beam type, just work.
On the other hand, in the cheap brand market, harbor freight makes one that gets surprisingly good reviews. However I wouldn’t expect it to be a long term thing. At around ten bucks, a guy could buy it for a project, then use it as a loaner, or to torque wheels.
With a budget of $250.00 I’m guessing that you’re looking for a top quality, best of the best kind of thing. You really can’t go wrong with snap on, and they make a nice split beam. But be aware, that just like everyone else they’ve started asking for more proof of purchase, if you want warranty work. If you work at a place that has a tool truck, it’s not really much of a problem. If you buy used, or mail order… you’ll be keeping up with that 250.00 receipt for years.
That’s another reason I go cheap, because other than wheels, I don’t use these much.I’ve got a couple, but I can’t recommend these particular wrenches.
