Harbor freight has some cheap ones. Don't know how accurate they are but i would think they can not be that bad.

Get one from Sears, they are good enough, just remember to use it right, i work at a dealership as a car tech and i always have to show the new techs how to handle them right, any good torque wrench will have a pressure point on the handle, you want your force to go thru that point and use the smallest extension you can for the job (if you do not need an extension even better). One hand on the handle and the other on the head of the torque wrench making sure it is straight

I have a 3/8 "Powerbuilt" torque wrench. Had it for about 6 mo. and it doesn't even click anymore.
