It depends on what you are going to be doing.
I have two snap on wrenches.
1. 3/8 drive 100-600 Lb-In
or 10-70N-m
2. 1/2 drive 40-250 Lb ft
or 60-330 N-m
The 3/8 drive unit will go down to 8 Lb ft and up to 50 Lb-ft.

For non production work a craftsman would work. Or you can try Stahlwille.com they are a German tool manufacture that seems to have a good product. Also they have an office in Florida so you can order from the web.
Besides the stores I have run across sell Stahlwille or Hazet tools.

You may want to torque your lug nuts at ~96.

You need both, the large torque wrenches are no good for valve covers.
