Wow - which models? If they're the Craftsman ones were you view the torque setting through a little plastic window in the handle, that's a hell of a deal. I think I paid slightly over $100 each for the 3/8" and 1/2" versions.

For half price it seems like a good deal. I bought both of them.

Yep, that's it! A man can't have enough tools or duct tape.

Just bought them online. I'll pick them up at the Polaris store. Thanks Chuck! Great deal Like Larry The Cable Guy says "I may need to adjust the torque in my bu*t crack"

But.. But I already have 2 torque wrenches. Do I really need a third? Hmm, maybe the dog could use one...

Oh yes one more for Fido. It will make a swell chew toy for him. Remember to wrap it with lots of duct tape so he doesn't hurt his fangs.

The digitorque one with the window was $199 for the 1/2 inch drive model. I couldn't justify that cost.

hmmm...they are MSRP $125 online. eBay has them for much less usually. I think I paid $40 for my 3/8". Lasted two years even though it wasn't treated well in my garage

The one that I just looked up online looks nothing like the one I saw for $199. Maybe it was $19.90 & I missed a sweet deal.

there's a digital one and then the 'digitork'. the digitork isn't digital at all, just shows the 'digit' in a window. the one for $199 does have an LCD readout.
