Default Recommended Torque wrenches

What torque wrenches are you using on your bike? Am looking to buy new wrenches that work well to keep fasteners up to spec and don't cost an arm and a leg.

I would also recommend a 1/4" torque wrench for the bolts that require inch pound settings. Beam type are usually cheaper
