I agree if you are using it to assemble an engine or transmission. Spending $250 on a wrench to tighten the lug bolts on or wheels seems a bit much to me. If you take care of your tools they will stay in good shape.
Now if/when it comes time to dive into the engine, I will have my torque wrench calibrated and then decide if I should get the $250 model. Otherwise I am confident in my tools. Ignorance may just be bliss. That is until I go sliding into the wall from improper torque.
