How serious are you going to get? I still use the ‘bar’ wrench I got 30 years ago when maintaining cars for the (few) occasions I need one. If you are of the ‘carbonista’ inclination, you may require something more particular.
Halfords offer one, and I have had no problems with their tools, pumps etc so far. Be aware, you should check the tool is capable of covering your needed range of settings.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I bought a "Jobsworth" brand one from Planet X about 10 years ago. TBH I don't actually use it to do things up to a specific torque very often, I just use it as a nice Allen key/driver set. Build and feel is nice. Of course, it may be insanely inaccurate for torque, I don't know.

I bought a Lifeline one from Wiggle which seems to do the job. You can still get them currently on offer at a penny under forty quid. Apparently 50% off however I’m sure I didn’t pay that much for mine.

That's the one I have, I am sure I paid less than £25 with free delivery in 21 or 22. I don't use it much, for tightening stem bolts and brake calipers, mostly. I think it is mostly the same as the Planet X one.
