The lower the torque, the "lighter" the click, so for the 150 lb axle nut the click is easy. For the 20 lb Cam Cover bolts you have to pay attention or you can over torque.
If I worked rebuilding engines and trannies everyday and the torques had a 1% tolerance I may want a better quality, for tightening lugs and axle nuts and occasionally doing more precise work, Harbor Freight is the way to go.

+1 and the click indicates you've reached the torque, but doesn't limit it - you can continue to pull on it until you snap the bolt.
