Can anyone reccomend a good 1/2'' drive torque wrench that will go up to 250ft lbs?

This is something you will be using for a long, long time so I'd not skimp it buying from those made in you know where. I have a 3/8" click type I bought cheap but I can no longer trust so it is never used nowadays. Although I think K-D and Mac are still too expensive. Craftsman is a good choice. If you are worried about precision, the beam type doesn't lose it. But is less convenient.

I bought a Cobalt or Kobalt brand at home depot, supposedly made by the same people as Snap-On
