$99 is overkill for tightening your wheel lugs. Do you have HarborFreight tools up there? If not, go to harborfreight.com. Low to medium quality tools at great prices. I wouldn't use their torque wrench on the space shuttle or at the nuclear power plant, but for car wheel lugs, it'll be close enough. A click-style torque wrench (you dial the torque setting you want and when using the wrench, you'll feel a click when you get to that torque) set me back about $15.

Harbor freight is a little slice of heaven! I've added lots of tools that I wouldn't normally be able to afford or justify. Again, some are pretty crappy in quality for "professional" use, but for the shade tree mechanic, it's great stuff.
