You dont want to skimp on a tq wrench. I have a snap on and 2 Mac ones.
A few good ones in different styles, what drive size and range are you looking for? Any specific job requirements eg transmission band adjustment?
These have a memory pointer. Both are USA and make different styles.

I need it for automotive use. I have a nice UK made foot/pound torque wrench that I have had for a while but I find that I need an inch one more and more. Right now I just do it by "feel" which is not a very good long-term plan. I want a high quality set that will last a long time. So US, UK, German, French. I have some Facom hand tools that I have had for a while and they have been very good. But I bought those a while ago when then dollar was even stronger against the Franc. Anyway, inch/pounds is what I need now.
Most of the Euro stuff is going to be in Nm unless its digital. Precision and CDI are good and USA made, if you don't need memory pointer these would be a good choice.
These are a few I would consider, cheaper prices online eg ToolTopia.
