Torque Wrenches  (like  most things you buy) are usually as good as 
the price you pay, I choose one that "clicks" , goes up to  150 ft 
lbs.  Mine is  from Precision Instrutments and costs about $250 ... 
this was on the advice from my favorite Auto Mechanic, who by the way 
has agreed to loan me his 250 ft lb wrench when I need it to install 
Good's CV axles.
