I recently bought two craftsman torque wrenches from sears for $80 a piece to install my suspension. They may not be the best but they got the job done.

I picked up one at Harbor Freight dirt cheap with a lifetime warranty. Works good so far.

2 - 3/8's for both ft/lbs and in/lbs, also a 1/2 for lugnuts. Couldnt be happier with them.

For the occasional use I'd just get a regular beam and pointer style craftsman. Mine works well and the problem with the click type is that if you drop it once your supposed to get it recalibrated. Click type is more of the professional tool Id guess?

How would you go about getting a torque wrench re-calibrated? Both of mine say it should be done periodically in the instructions. Personally I wouldn't bother with a pointer one, how are you supposed to work in tight spots or apply large amounts of force while trying to read the stupid thing?

Thats why for a around the house if you work on your car every couple weeks and need it i suggest the pointer kind. I haven't really run into the problem with running out of space to use it. If you drop it no big deal. If it isn't 100% on zero the directions say just bend it back to zero. Simple and Effective.

If you drop a click type once it is supposed to be recalibrated. The reason i say the click type is more professional because companies like snap-on and mac will drive to shops and deliver tools. My guess is while theyre there thats when you would want to ask to get it calibrated. I would guess craftsman would have to be brought back to sears.
