My dad's been using an old click type craftsman torque wrench for 30+ years, but he's nearing 70, hates wearing his glasses in the shop and is 1) getting unable to read the worn numbers as well 2) getting sick of that style wrench.

He's looking for the either a dial type or a reliable digital. Craftsman out of the question because he's read to many bad reviews. Here's his specifications.

- Must be 3/8" drive
- 5ft/lb-125ft/lb. He'd settle for 10lb/ft-125ft/lb
- I tried suggesting buying a 1/4" drive and a 3/8" to cover the range he wants but he only wants to buy one
- He's probably not going to buy snap on new, based off price. But he doesn't have to strict of a budget he just wants the perfect tool.

The closest I found that I think he's like is Cromwell CTG3000, but I don't think he'd really enjoy switching to soft grip.

I know I'm a noob and most posts have been questions but I promise I've search :p
