like engine internals or transmissions and what not, I can see little benefit to gain over a modest priced unit.
I have a Craftsman (2 actually) and they have been bullet proof for 20+ years.
If it is really just for wheel bolts, harbor freight might be enough. I suspect 3 or 4 pounds off on a wheel bolt is less of an issue than something truly precision.

Get a Harbor Freight wrench.
They're good, but never use a torque wrench to remove/loosen a nut or bolt, just to tighten.

I do like Tekton's tools in general. I haven't tried their torque wrench. I use torque wrenches a lot and over time they would all eventually fail in one way or another. I got the PI ones for around $100 apiece.
