On the bike, 99% of the time, a short-handled torque wrench will be fine. Other than my crankset, I can't think of anything that needs to be fastened beyond 7Nm, which certainly doesn't require leverage. If you're ham-fisted, the cheapie Park ($35) works fine for that. if you're not ham-fisted, you can do without the torque wrench altogether.
