Yeah, that looks like a nice 3/8" model. I use a 1/2" drive. Here's the one I've got :

You know, the one you're looking at only goes to 80 ft/lb, which isn't enough for wheel bolts, domestic head bolts, et cetera. Why are you getting a 3/8"

I'm perfectly happy with the Craftsman I've got. I don't need [or want] a torque wrench with a digital readout [I prefer micrometer-style] or one that goes to 250 ft/lb. But, you might want to go that route. In that case, I'd buy:

It seems a little excessive, but I think you would be better served by that wrench than a 3/8". Your choice...
