Someone is getting it for me as a gift. 100 bucks or less and from sears. This will be my first and only one so I would like the right one. I will use it for working on the GT changing springs headers things of that nature. So I am thinking a 1/2"one but some go in 2lb incraments and some are 1lb. How important is that?

Never really seen any in those low increments. Most of the ones Ive used go by 10. If you were looking for one of those Id go with the 2 since the 1 ft-lb aint going to hurt anything.

You might also want to check to see just how much toruqe the wrench can handle. The 10 lb ones usually go up to 125-150 lb-ft. The smaller 1 or 2 pound ones might only go up to 50 or so. Depending on what youre going to do you might be better off getting a 10 lb one and just guessing on the torque for the odd increments (5, 6 ,7 lb-ft).

I'd go with the second one - don't cheap out on click-type torque wrenches. A digital gauge is unnecessary and probably took some money away from where it would have been better spent.
I've used some expensive clickers, but the only thing I own is a manual beam-type I bought for $20. Not really useful in your application, though!
