Torque wrench recommendations

Im about to change the oil in my RSV and thought it about time I bought a torque wrench. Ive heard they are a must for the Apes.

I had a browse around the net but not sure what to go for. Having looked at the workshop manual for the RSV looks like I need one with a range of about 10 Nm (oil plug) to 120 Nm (rear axle nut, tightening chain). However I couldnt find anything with both these in the range. I was about to buy 2, a low torque one and a high torque one but thought of asking here first.

Also is it worth getting one of the more expensive ones (£60 +) or is a cheaper one just as good for my needs.

Cheers
 
I got a used one of ebay not to long ago, they do come in handy. I recon you only need one though you can never have enough tools :devious

The one i brought covers just about everything on my mille, you sure your rear axle is 120Nm that sounds a bit excessive i think mines only 88Nm and the oil Plug 11Nm. :dunno

You'll need a 3/8 drive for calipers and small torques and a 1/2 drive for axle nuts and high torques.
