Torque wrenches



Hi folks,
    I was looking into getting a torque wrench the other day. Sears had two
designs, the "click-type" wrench with the adjustable collar for setting,
and the older type with a needle and a bar running parallel to the wrench
to indicate torque. 

The click-type was $60, the needle type was $20. I couldn't see any
advantage of going with the "click-type". However, I decided to hold off
before I buy. 

Even if the cheaper type only holds it's accuracy for a shorter time, it'll
still be cheaper to replace it every few years than to buy the more
expensive one. 

Any comments?
