I have THIS ONE and like it quite a lot. It's more than just a plain-Jane stock wrench and if that saves some space in my toolbox w/o compromising functionality, that's a good thing.

Looking for a good torque wrench try your local pawn shops , I bought a $350.00
Snap-On for $80.00 a few years back. Pawn shops usually wont loan on a pos tool.
i am confused on this issue as well. i bought a brownells wrench because i needed to take off two different types of castle nuts and did not want to buy two wrenches. the instructions that came with the wrench says 42 foot pounds. the asap plates i am going to put on say 40 inch pounds. that is a big difference in torque specs. so is it inch pounds or foot pounds. thanks,Mike
I have the Spike's Tactical castle nut wrench. I generally use ASAP plates so this works well for me. I read 40 ft pounds is what it should be tightened at but I tend to use Gotm4s method. Staking is very important and I had to remove a staked castle nut the other day and it was not a problem to loosen it.

Although I make a tool to tighten and remove components on black rifles....Experience and the manufactures suggest setting should be your guide....with that being said...experience goes a long, long way....

The gear sector wrench is the same as my brownells wrench, and the same $8 wrench most places sell.
On torque wrenches that will see use, check the warranty, not all lifetime tool companies warrant torque wrench. Lowes has Kobalt and I am 95% certain they have torque wrenches too. I dont know their pricing, but their tools are mad by snap-on and not terrible, and better than most. If you are making money with your tools, you already have one.
