I'm in the torque wrench camp, I've got 2 (admittedly probably cheap and no idea of the accuracy anymore).
I've had to deal with enough stuck fasteners from gorillas or bolts falling out, as well as a new set of brake rotors
that got bent when some numb-nuts at a tire store over torqued my wheel bolts.
There seems to be a common dead spot around 20-25 lb-ft.
I commonly use <10lb-ft (belt covers), ~65lb-ft (DSS axle bolt) up to ~95lb-ft (cage alloy wheel bolts).
If torque value is listed I follow it (I otherwise don't follow directions very well).
I don't kid myself the wrenches are dead nuts. Piece of mind for me though.

Any opinions on the CA CycleWorks Wrenches? Sounds too good to be true at that price and usually that means it is.

They will be fine for the DYI person. If you use it for tightening only and set back to zero before storing you will get many years of service. Do keep your beam style torque wrench as a reference for accuracy.
