i'd go craftsman simply because if it should break you can just roll out to sears really quick. try that with mac or snap on.

btw...torque is not that necessary when you got mad drift skillz

i had a harbor freight that went out of adjustment range, but its only 5 lbs off

my brother got a craftman since my big ass snap-on only starts at 60 ft lbs.

meh, i barely use any of them these days, except for lugnuts pretty much.

All I would say is get a micrometer type handle, not one of those deflection based torque wrenches. And I don't like the Craftmans wrenches
