I did some construction work in my younger days and some of the bolts that we had to torque had to be 450 ft/lbs. I am pretty strong but big strength was not necessary if your torque wrench is 48" long. You can use a fancy torque multiplyer wrench or a long lever and the effort required is no more than a stuck lug nut on your tow vehicle. I personally would prefer the 4' long one piece wrench because it is much lighter to use than a multiplier or a telescopic handle wrench. Storage of a 4' wrench is not a problem. My tow vehicle is a F450 crew cab and the trailer is a 46' foot gooseneck. My little sister could torque 370 ft/lbs with a 48" lever.

No flex in the bar when pushing down hard on it? (thinking of ordering it but just imagine that a solid steel bar would be more effective) Thanks.

I just bought the precision instruments wrench and a cheap $200 torque multiplier. Getting the wheels off should be real easy with the multiplier + wrench without torque handle, and it'll all fit nicely into the trunk.
