For home use, almost any adjustable click type wrench will do. You need one for sure for the alloy wheels. So that gets you close to 100 ft-lbs. If you get a 1/2" drive, it will probably go over 200 ft-lbs which is good for the drive shaft nuts which are 214 ft-lbs I beleive. You should also have a long breaker bar as you do not want to use the torque wrench to break things free.
So clickable, 1/2" drive, 250 ft-lbs and a breaker bar if you don't have one. Perhaps a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter if you have some smaller sockets or things like hex-key bits.
Do you have a discount tool dealer near by? Most autoparts places will have the T.W.
It should come in a decent poly box for storage. I keep the T.W. and breaker in the trunk.
