Google is a good place to get a million different answers. I was hoping to cut through the BS and get suggestions from people who've already figured out the best answer. That's what forums are supposed to be for, after all.

God, $197 for a torque driver? That's insane. I could buy 10 big torque wrenches for that price -- they wouldn't do me any good, but I could buy them anyway. What makes the Sturtevant Richmont torque driver worth $197?
You can try cheaper 1/4 inch pound driver with dial indicator for much cheaper.

Decent torque wrenches are expensive.

I'm not sure if that's good price for that unit.
