3/8" vs. 1/2" Torque Wrench (all things equal)

[Topless]

I do sometimes use a torque wrench on oil drain plug, but never for the filter. "Hand tight plus a little snug to seat the o-ring." Has worked for a long time.

I also have an aversion to most digital tools. It seems they all require fairly unique batteries and when I need the wrench the battery is invariably dead and the stores are closed... or I am out at the track 80 miles from nowhere. I prefer the tried and true click style. I also like and use most Craftsman tools but never liked their torque wrench. It's not their best effort.
