I use Tang tools wrenches. Although bought many years ago they cover every job i need them for. Every 5 years i give them to the local test dealer(truck) who gets them recalibrated. May cheap wrenches go out of calibration quickly. To me especially on wheel nuts could mean life or death.
My advice would be to only by from a know manufacturer and not some eBay cheapie

Just found these two Teng Tools digital torque wrenches -

Teng Tools Torque Wrench Plus 3/8" 20-100Nm @ £75

Teng Tools Torque Wrench Plus 1/2" 40-200Nm @ £79

I’ve used Teng tools in the past with no problems and these are probably far more accurate than my old torque wrench.
