I suggest the following micro clicker torque wrench. Much better value, far more dependable/reliable, just as accurate and, best yet, old school.

I am also normally old school, but the nerd in me has to have the beeping, vibrate w/ LEDs crap LOL. Plus if I worked on cars all the time the reliability would mean more to me.
I do acknowledge how stupid SOME wheel/tire people are. One of our company little trucks - an HHR at Les Schwab - the idiot left the front wheels on hand tight and forgot to torque them down. Luckily the driver made it to the shoulder unharmed.
Anytime nowadays when you depend on someone else to do something right that may be hazardous to your health, check it yourself.

Yup. Sucks. Probably going to be a whole new front bumper assembly, left headlight, new hood (bonnet?), probably a good bit of hinge and attachment stuff, new clear bra, likely a new left front rim too. Who knows what's hidden?

I now have a routine of not reinserting the hub growler caps until I have torqued each wheel so I am sure I've done it, and I now pay attention to that warning on the bottom of the service invoice that says "check your wheel nut torques after 100 miles".
I use a favourite independant for changing my tyres because they torque the the wheel nuts to OEM spec and print what it was before and what it is set to afterwards on the invoice for reference.
