torque wrench

Can someone recommend a basic torque wrench for me. I have a lot of tools but never owned a TW.

Will not be building engines or that sort of thing so something basic that actually works, without breaking the bank, would be nice. Basically getting it to torque the lug nuts on my TT. I have 1/2 inch socket drives if there is one that works with that. I am ordering all new lug nuts and figure I may as well torque them per specs versus the old method I have been using.

BTW due to an issue with my break away switch I am going to get my breaks checked, maybe lube bearings. Just curious if shops such as CW or RV dealers actually torque these wheel lugs or do they just use an impact wrench, or do impact wrenches have torque adjustments on them? Thinking of taking mine to my local tire shop but need to check and see if they can handle the electric brake check / repair if necessary.
