One I bought from Wiggle. However I have had a couple of stems that kept coming loose on carbon forks. So I ended up just tightening them way past the recommended torque and they are still fine.
At the end what do you do if something comes loose on ride you just tighten it up by feel.
Personally I think they are just your back up if something breaks and you say “Well I used the correct torque” Not that anyone could really prove otherwise.
I’m somewhat puzzled to what expensive carbon parts you have bought.🤔

One of these for small things:

And the larger one for bigger things:

And a pre-set, 5Nm one for things I can actually get to with it and which require 5Nm.

Oh, and one of these for differently hard-to-get-to heads:

You'd be surprised how far out the readings can be on even a new torque wrench, generally under reading IME. It is simple enough to recalibrate one, plenty of good videos on You tube.

I use one of these For up to 6nm

EDIT. Sorry, you said 1/4" drive:

Pro Bike Tool torque wrench

It came with a calibration certificate. Not sure if that's worth anything. Slacken off to minimum setting after use is recommended.

Sealey STW901. 5-25Nm, a liitle under £30 from Prime Tools.

We are all remembering to unwind the torque setting when storing them, aren’t we? Not on the deflection type, of course.
