Precision (http://www.torqwrench.com/tools/item.php?StockCode=C3FR250F) Split-beam

I have the 20-100 ft.-lbf. version. Easy to dial in the torque. No need to set it back to "0". Although, force of habit has me doing it anyway.

Yes, the Techwrench Electronic & Split Beam torque wrenches have flex heads. Thanks.

Now, let me re-phrase the initial question:
Can you name any others micrometer adjustable click type, 1/2" drive, flexible head, ratcheting torque wrenches than the ones listed above?

$499.99 - $321.50 = $178.49

You are looking at some pretty expensive torque wrenches to begin with, the difference is only $178.49, why not save up a few more dollars and get the latest in tech?

More and more items are being built that will require the abilities of this wrench and it is a big time saver over doing it the old way with an angle gauge.

The second price is for the Matco one you have listed.

My flame suit is on.

Why micrometer type adjustment?

My preferred type over split beam.
Electronics are nice but eat batteries.
Just like the adjustable click type the most and the flexible head is a very nice feature.
