Snap-On makes some really nice ones. Mac Tools or Matco or Hazet, Geodore, also make nice stuff.
Just make sure the wrench you are using has a middle range of what you are trying to torque down. In other words... if your tightening something to 21Nm use a wrench that 21Nm is in its middle tq range. Say a wrench that has a range of 5Nm to 40Nm. Not a wrench that can torque up to 250Nm!!
Also don't forget when storing your tq wrench never have it preset to the tq setting. This compresses the internal spring and over time will throw off your tq wrench's accuracy. Always have it set to ZERO ft/lbs or Nm - when not being used.
