...the only thing I'd be using it for is wheel swaps on 2 cars each winter/summer.
And being super accurate isn't a worry of mine, as anything close is good. When I put my winter wheels last year, I stupidly did it by hand, and STOOD on the wrench to do the final tighten. I overtightened by a lot, and it was hard getting them off (had them taken off the day after I put them on, luckily do damage done.) The wheel lugs call for 81 ft*lbs I believe. If using the wrench can get me in the 77-83 range faily reliably, I'm happy with that.
