You can get a really good deal on a torque wrench at Sears on Black Friday. Their $79.99 torque wrench is half off - $39.99. I have this wrench and it works great. Check out the Sears Black Friday ads at the link below. They have a lot of good stuff on sale. I'm going to get a new tool chest. You can't beat 50% off
Remember, a lot of times the same wrench will give you what you need if you convert foot pounds to inch pounds or vise versa. 12in/lbs equals 1ft/lb, 18in/lbs equals 1.5ft/lbs, 24 in/lbs equals 2ft/lbs, etc. I realize that there could be instances where the range or possibly accuracy may be an issue but for general purpose use, one wrench will do.
To add to what tallboy said, I have an S-K Torque wrench that goes from 70 inch lbs. all the way up to 960 inch lbs. Using the inch to pound conversion factor of 12 inch to 1 pound, I can go to 80 foot lbs. on my inch lb. torque wrench. I`ve checked the low settings and the high settings against regular inch lb. wrenches, and foot pound wrenches and it holds pretty accurate all the way through the range.

I have Snap-On and love them. But I turned wrenches for 17 years on cages. If you are using them for perosnnal bike work, you can't beat the Craftsman.

i've got all snap-on torque wrenches, but if I were you i'd either buy one from sears or check on their website, they have a much better selection at sears.com than at the store.
