Craftsman are nice. I have this model:

Seems to be fine. Always take the torque setting to 0 or whatever the lowest setting is, otherwise it will detension the spring and cause your torque settings to be off. Over time of course.

I am going to be upgrading to Snap-On digital read-outs. I've used these at the shop at they are fantastic. I got spoiled with the nice Snap-On tools and now have the need for a new on. Hard to justify $500-700 for 1 tool, but it's a tool so it is justified. =)

I was either thinking craftsman or snap on and was thinking about the digital torque wrenches.

i have the snap on digital one and i love it, i got it as a gift when i graduated, It is deff more than i need though, im sure the craftsman one works great based on what ive heard and is quite a bit cheaper i believe
