I got this one for $123. S K Hand Tools (SKT74255) Micrometer "Clicker" Torque Wrench 1/2" Drive 20-150 ft./lbs. (1 ft./lb.)<br><img src="/free-shipping.gif" width="79" height="26" border="0"> - SKT74255

Comes with a blowmolded case, too. I just leave it set to 92 lbs, cause I don't really use it for anything besides wheels. I never heard of resetting it to zero. Why should you do this?
