My quote from that thread:
And if that's not in your budget, the Craftsman 'Beam Type' wrench is my choice. The click type wrenches are fancy, but I feel much more comfortable with the beam type because you can see the torque being applied and don't have to worry about missing the 'click'. Trust me, it's a horrible feeling when you hear the 'click' and it's not the wrench, but a busted bolt in your (motor's) head.

Have had execellent service with Craftsman clicker and beam type. The latter require no calibration (unless you bend the pointer) and is a good back up.
