I'm rebuilding the heads of a Jeep 4.7L and need a decent torque wrench. I've had some minor experience with click-type torque wrenches, and find the experience highly variable and questionable. I had the good fortune to use a $600 SnapOn digital torque wrench once and loved it, but I have a $100-150 budget.
I'm seeking your advice and opinions on the following digital torque wrenches, or perhaps something else you might prefer.
The Craftsman digital is priced all over the spectrum, from $174 in the local Sears, to $80 or so on Amazon. The utility is good, but the ratings are terrible.

Gearwrench #85077 - Top of my budget. Sparse reviews

Brownline Metal Works BLD0212 - priced nicely at $98. American made, good reviews, thought a bit cumbersome in size
https://smile.amazon.com/Brown-Line...44571&sr=1-1&keywords=brownline+torque+wrench
AC Delco ARM303 - quite a bit above my price range, but seems nice

Any others I should consider? Any warnings or pitfalls with this listed above?
