Default Torque Wrenches - Which one.

I'm looking for a torque wrench, but have no idea which one would be the best. What size should it be or the ranges. I looked at the SKs in the link below and need some opinions. It would be for general use, such as wheel tightening. What's everyone think?<ul><li><a href="http://www.mytoolstore.com/sk/sk03160.html">http://www.mytoolstore.com/sk/sk03160.html</a</li></ul>

Default i'd go with the 1/2" drive that goes up to 150 ft-lbs, however...

id prever one with a "flat" shaft rather than a tubular one like this one<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&amp;SKU=11902">http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&amp;SKU=11902</a</li></ul>

I would also like to do some suspension and engine work with the wrench. Would the 1/2" be the way or should I go for a 3/8"?

You need two - 1/2 and 3/8". Don't forget spark plugs!
