Question torque wrench

which one is better buy?

I am thinking to purchase my own torque wrench.
Sears sells $30 with gaugeon handle which doesn't click.
at $80 with dial type toeque set and click when exceed torque.

I have been using Japanese Tonichi brand torque wrench which has torque set by dial and clicks.

I just appreciate your advice for acuracy and how durable.

Thanks

Get one that clicks. Sometimes you can't look straight on the arm types to see the lbs. Also if your going to use it on a somewhat regular basis, spend the money to get a good one. The money you spend now will be the money you spend later to fix something because you bought a cheap one.

Hi James, Thanks for your reply. I was going to get click type myself because that is I am used to.

Also thanks for your kind advice when call your office phone to ask about 4runner modification.
