Get a "snap head" torque wrench not the pointer kind. I got mine from Sears/Craftsman also.

What do you need it for? That will have some impact on the quality you are looking for.

I use the one from work that are calibrated.

Really just anything/everything on the Z that needs something other than German spec.

Sears/Craftsman! Their tools come with a guarantee. If it should break, it's easy to return, for a new one!
