look again at the specs on the craftsman one... the one I have is a craftsman and rated at 25-250 ft.lb.

it's good for anything above about 40lb. I wouldn't recommend it for use below 40. just not very accurate.

for stuff like engine work, I'd say to get a 3/8" drive for most of it. most of the bolts on aluminum engines are in the 10-30 ft.lb. range with the exception of the head studs.

So to really do both, I'd suggest spending the money on 1/2 and 3/8".
If you're just doing brakes and wheels, get the larger one. If you're doing engine work, get the smaller one.
