If not, then any torque wrench is no better than a Harbor Freight version.
Precison tools need to be repeatable and traceable (to the NIST standards). Sound like overkill, but if you do any professional work and something "fails", who knows what could come up in court.

I've been expecting somone to quote the movie scene from My Cousin Vinnie when the chic gives him the run down about torquing the faucet handle that is dripping. Hilarious!!
Almost as good as the "deer scene".
On the more serious side, make sure you buy Craftsman and NOT Sears brand. Sears does NOT have the Craftsman warranty.
