Purely a matter of how you intend to use the tool; if you are just putting wheels back on, just about any torque wrench will do because some accuracy variance does not really matter. If you are assembling engines, you definitely want a tool that you can count on its long term accuracy and reproducibility.

As someone once commented, "If you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet. But if your head is more valuable to you, expect to spend more...………."
