On the other hand, these Huskys have a reliable and very noticeable click every time. Well worth the extra cost if you need to torque something important.

You will break the wrench, I've done it.
Sure you'll get a better torque wrench out of one twice the price (or quadruple the price in the case of Snap On), but these also have a lifetime warranty that is exceptionally easy to use.
This is a great tool at a great price. Educate yourself on its use and you'll be fine. Don't shy away because some goof somehow managed to break a HEAD BOLT with a 3/8" wrench. That wasn't the tool's fault. Likely had oil or coolant down in the bolt hole, didn't clean it out properly, and didn't chase threads like they should've. Not to mention many head bolts are torque-to-yield and as such should be replaced, not re-used.
Without debating name brands, I recently torqued some bolts to 30 in-lbs with a cheap 1/4" clicker (yes, that's under 3 ft-lbs.) It's good to be concerned about missing clicks, and anyone who's done this knows that you should be more concerned with the SMALL wrenches at low torque settings, but you already own some male hex sockets, right? Go ahead and familiarize yourself with the click beforehand.
Maybe don't use your 3/8 hex sockets to test much over 100 ft-lbs, though.
Not saying it isn't possible, but I surely can't imagine myself pulling on a tiny ratchet so hard that I break a bolt that isn't made out of aerated chinesium.
