Sears has all three sizes of the Craftsman Microclick torque wrench on sale for $39. I took the coupon to Orchard Supply Hardware and they matched the price.

The reviews on these are horrible. My 3/8" torque wrench bit the dust the other day, ended up shearing a stud on the intake manifold of my 4runner, was going to pick one of these up, but the reviews stink. Good idea on the price match!
Not only are the locking mechanisms horrible Sears won't honor a lifetime warranty on the ratchet mechanism. When mine failed they said it had a one year warranty, no way around it even though it was obviously not abused. It was just the reason I needed to get a good SO version.
My two craftsman are about 10 years old and been great. Dunno COO must not be China though.

Mine worked for years too, but older ones are better. nowdays they mostly are made in china. they break easy
I have a couple of these Craftsman torque wrenches. While I have had no issue, I do see one problem, the setting marks on the turn handle are paint on with no indention. I can see a problem of those markings wiping off if you happen to get a stringent chemical on them.
mountz are some excellent torque wrenches. ive got a friend who works at the factory calibrating and rebuilding units. nice tools. more of an industrial line. not sold in stores.
obviously not 39 bucks.
