Can't remember what the torque for my rear axle nut is, but considering I like to be able to get it back off I tend to torque it a good wee bit short.
I'm not keen on cheap torque wrenches.
Somebody mentioned Norbar. I recently bought a Norbar, very nice, comes with a calibration certificate. Not cheap but will last the home mechanic a life time. Also got a Britool which is nice too.
Did buy a cheap (ish) Williams wrench a while back. Used it a couple of times but I'd no confidence in it. Replaced with the Norbar.
