There are several types; simple deflection beam (very cheap), split-beam, conventional click-release and dial. Of these, the click-release is probably what you're looking for because they are common and fairly cheap. From personal experience I cannot recommend Craftsman. Their torque wrenches are the only hand tools they sell that are not lifetime warranty. If they break they are not worth fixing, and they do break.

Snap-on sells some of the best. Snap-on has several click-release models varying in cost according to their accuracy. The 1% wrenches are more costly than the 3% wrenches. I prefer their split-beam wrenches and have two, a 3/8 inch drive and a 1/2 inch drive. Very much worth their cost and it is nice to not have to reset to zero after using, which must be done with the regular click-release models, regardless of which brand is used.

Deflection beam wrenches in inch-pound sizes are good for measuring rotating torques, like bearing drag. The dial wrenches are very accurate and have a dial and needle register. Good ones are expensive.

Some models have dual scales, ft/lbs and newton/meters.

I suggest checking the Snap-on on-line catalog to research the various offerings. Choice is yours, you can spend a lot or just a little. I'd recommend getting the best quality you can afford.

FWIW,
