The handle is shaped a bit differently, but it's the same torque range, and the calibrations on the knob look the same.

Those look nothing alike. You can see that the Park has a chromed head/ratchet mechanism with a flat gear cover, while the PRO Torque has a shot-peened type finish with a raised gear cover. Also, the Park has 2 screws to remove the ratchet mechanism while the PRO Torque uses a snap-ring.
