Guess I'll chime in with the other end of the spectrum.
Harbor Freight. $15 ($10 on sale) lifetime warranty and they rate very good in every comparison report I've ever read.

I have snapon and craftsman,but one important thing to remember,torque wrenches are only accurate at 75 to 100 %.If you had a 100 ft lb torque wrench and wanted to tighten something to say 20 ft lbs it would not be accurate.

Had the 3/8" and 1/2" drive craftsman a few years back. Didn't last more than a year of daily use. Switched over to the Snap-On digital about 2 years ago and wouldn't go back. Saves me a ton of time at work.

I use a craftsman with no problem, but then I am only a shade tree mechanic.
