I have long since given up doing my own work, but for serious mechanical wlrk would get a name brand and decent quality wrench. I only keep one in the car now for changing wheels,and the torque spec for that is approx 80 lb.ft of torque.It is probably more important that the five wheel bolts are equally torqued than the exact figure that you end up with,and the wrench I carry is rated to 10% accuracy,which I think is fine for wheels.If I were really getting into hte engine or suspension and working on cars daily,I would get a name brand quality tool,and not save money on it. Not worth it in the long run. My "trunk " wrench ran 27 dollars, and is more than up to the job of changing wheels.
