MAC and Snap-On are the "pro" stuff. I would not worry too much about torque values on the oil pan gasket. Its more of a judgement thing...tighten down but don't pinch the gasket. Other places torque values are important.

You can't go wrong for the msot part with MAC or Snap-On if you have the $$. Most craftsman stuff is decent.

Most every nut / bolt on a vehicle has an assigned torque value...some are important (engine stuff & trans * differientals) generally speaking ,otherwise its a judgement call where "tight" is good. The judgement comes with time and experience where you have broken studs, stripped bolts....etc. After a few of those you get a "feel" for what's ok. Any engine components, transmission & differential torque values are worth paying attention to and investing in an appropriate torque wrench.
