I have 3-4 different types. If you're using it to do engine work, a Snap-On, Craftsman, or similar will be sufficient. I have two that I use most of the time...a CDI 1/2" drive, and a Snap-On electronic piece. The Snap-On cost me around $450 if I remember right, but it's necessary for fasteners that use ° measurements....i.e. 30 lb-ft + 44°, etc. When it reaches torque, it beeps and vibrates, and you can cycle between the different units of measurement.
