Torque wrench recommendation needed

My torque wrench was liberated from my garage and that puts me in the market. I need a 1/2 in drive. I prefer a long handle but I guess that is just habit.

I’ve been looking on line and see prices from under $20 to over $200. Some have accuracy specs, and +/- 4% seems too high (100 ft-lbs could actually be 96-104). Maybe I’m overthinking that; torque sticks used at tire shops are pretty inaccurate.

Would also like it to hold accuracy for some time so I don’t have to recalibrate very often. Primary use is wheel lugs on BMWs.

Thoughts?
