Sears torque wrenches

Anybody know the difference between the sears microtork wrenches and their regular click torque wrenches? The microtork seems to be a little cheaper, by about $10. Any other differences?

The regular torque wrench is on sale through 11/2 so now they're the same price.
And here's the comparison:

I would go with a craftsmen rotary torque sensor. Had an excellent write up in an off road magazine. The tool goes between the ratchet and the socket and has a display meter. It also has a large range and very compact.

The unit can sense torque settings from 0 to 200 Nm, or 0 to 150 Lb-Ft. The readings are displayed on a large LCD screen in 0.1 Lb-Ft. resolution, and you can easily choose between Nm or Lb-Ft. at any time the unit is powered up. Sears claims that it has 0.1 Lb-Ft. resolution and +/- 3% accuracy.

Another option to consider. I think this is the one I would buy.
