Can this wrench be worth a crap? I think it might be worth the money to find out. Just ordered mine!

I use a Craftsman torque wrench. Has done a good job so far.

I think Craftsman also only had a 1 year warranty. Husky brand can be found at Home Depot for about the same price as Sears, but with a longer warranty. But I still own two Craftsman branded ones since they were bought during the Christmas season sales.

I bought an SK (from link below) a few weeks ago. $90, free shipping, no tax - good range and resolution. After reading about some of the Craftsman torque wrenches in this same price range, I went with the SK. Nice wrench for the price.
