As far as anvil size, once again, the SAE system is the standard. If you order a German-made Stahlwille wrench from Germany, it might say 6,3 mm on the packaging instead of 1/4 in --- or it may show 12,6 mm instead of 1/2 in, but clearly the Germans are using the standard American anvil sizes of 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2... it may just be labeled in a mm conversion, but English anvil sizes are the international norm.
Finally, to reiterate... when SAE is mentioned in relation to a torque wrench it is usually a reference to the torque wrench reading in SAE foot pounds and the torque range being rated in foot lbs as well (eg, 20 - 150 ft lbs).
Hope that helps.
I bought the Craftsman 1/2" wrench this morning, then saw the Husky one posted just recently. I was about to cancel the Craftsman one to get the Husky, but after reading some of the comments, I found the Husky to be made in China, whereas the Craftsman to be made in Taiwan (better quality).
The Husky has a limited lifetime warranty, but if you are getting junk, it's just wasting trips to the store to replace for another sketchy item. Personally, I'm keeping the Craftsman and will pick it up on the way home from work today.

Btw what sizes do square anvils and come to think of it hex impact driver slots come in abroad, where it's all metric?
And, while we're at it, what's a good 1/2" torque wrench that goes up to 250 ft-lb, under $60?

The Tekton torque wrench (3/8") is $42 on Amazon right now and the 1/2" drive is $39. I would take a Tekton any day over Craftsmen, and that doesn't even take into account the lifetime warranty that Tekton offers.

Have YOU went to harbor freight and picked out a torque wrench, sift through the boxes, pick one Made in China and the same torque wrench made in Taiwan, and compare the two? Let me know when you have.
