I am more of a backyard mechanic and was planning to get a good torque wrench for me lately. However in the end my choices came to two options either to go with a snap on torque wrench or a craftsmen wrench.
Few of the things about craftsmen is its low price and good working however I heard many people complaining that the wrench failed within some time of it finishing its 1-2 year warrantly. On the other hand snap on is a market standard and the snap on torque wrench is quite good however was a bit more pricier than the usual. In the end I settled for the snap on torque wrench for its durability and accuracy.
I was looking in the 50-250 ft-lbs range and the snap on torque wrench was quite good. However as a precautionary note for those who use these tools it would be better to keep them separate from the general tools because of the high chance of them getting damaged in a fall or colliding with other tools. Also it is better to send them for recalibration because over time they do tend to loose their accuracy a bit.
