Doesn't really matter which breaker bar. I got mine for $10 with a lifetime warranty from Red Rooster.

For a torque wrench, I would suggest that you go to Checker/Kragen and get their 1/2" for $46.

It's reasonably accurate and actually has a lifetime warranty. The Craftsman torque wrench costs twice as much, requires that you reduce the setting to 0 every time to unload it and only has a one year warranty. If you haven't ever had a spring loaded torque wrench like this before, make sure you unload the tension on the spring every single time! If you don't it will become increasingly inaccurate.
