there is a lot of value of having it work when you need it to though
i bought a harbor freight and it didnt click for me, so i ended up overtorquing some bolts... not cool. It got trashed, and I am going to pick up another craftsman or better Q wrench

I have a Snap-On 3/8" drive TechWrench
Its a digital torque wrench, and I can switch between inch pounds, foot pounds and newton meters at the touch of a button. Runs through batteries like **** through a goose though. I got it for $100 because I traded in my never used 3/4" drive Snap-On click type torque wrench that was done in kilopascals (kPa)....I didn't feel like doing conversions every time I had to look up a torque spec so I got rid of it (came with my tool package when I bought my first professional grade tool set in 2001)
