I got a sealey torque wrench last week at the following link

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-STW1012-Torque-Micrometer-1-47-17-70lb-ft/dp/B000RO1ZCG

It has a range from 2-24Nm so good for all the small stuff on the bike. It seems well built and easy to use.

I was surprised how little tightness some bolts had to be.

tbh you want something from about 2 to 15Nm for most stuff.

3-5Nm for various clamps, 11 for shimano crank pinch bolts etc.

I've got a Sealey one that is 2-24Nm. Any torques over this eg cassette lock rings are normally well over this and either require you to just do em up tight or use a larger torque wrench.
