As title not sure of the torque range to go for.

Went for the Pedros Demi Torque one, does me for everything. Bit pricey but had a cheap big long torque wrench and changed it when I managed to remove the head off of a pivot bolt.

EDIT: Most things I need to tighten seem to be between about 4 and 12 Nm so this does just fine.

I just went for a non bike one from screwfix. 5-25nm driving a quarter inch socket. Cost about £25. Some parts say less than 5nm but only usually a little bit less. Sometimes I think bike specific stuff can be a real rip off

I bought this one. Only use it on my carbon fibre bike though, don't see the point using it on the other ones.

Have a look at the bontrager and ritchey preset ones, they will no most jobs where torque could be a concern. For everything else use an allen key and do it up to the tightness you can achieve with that key. Do not use extenders etc as you are more likely to break things.
