Nothing wrong with "old fashioned" beam type torque wrenches...just that you have to work with them in a well lit, fairly accessible area to "swing it" while viewing it clearly and without interuption or at an angle.
Modern vehicles are marvels of "tight packaging" so the *click* type are more favorable especially in low light areas. The other thing is the smaller 3/8" square drive models are easier handling and more convenient for most motorcycle fasteners. As opposed to the larger 1/2" square drive models which are more for larger drive train/engine fasteners, cars and light trucks...:coffee And yes Sears/Kmart Craftsman ones are pretty good at a decent price. The Kobalt ones sold at Lowes or Home Depot are very good also...
