Re: Recommend me....
Might not be the most professional thing, but I don't use one on wheel bearings, I use the pat. pend. torque arm to do them. Never had a problem.

Re: Recommend me....
The big Machine Mart one's pretty decent for what it is, I've got two- one for actual torquing, and one to use as a big breaker bar with a ratchet. Very handy.
IMO it's the small values where it counts- 8nm isn't very much at all, and it'd be very easy to go a little bit over and snap it (talking brake nipples and M5 bolts here I think) or strip a thread. But a 60nm axle, well, it's not likely to mind if you go a bit over. So I've got a pretty decent low-value one, a Halfords Pro, and a very cheap high-value one. And reasonably well calibrated arms.
