The smaller of the Park wrenches is in the right range for the majority of the bike uses. The only real exceptions would be something like the bolt to fasten the crankarm.

It may have already been said, but if not, a caution: don't let a torque wrench make you lazy. You still can't just crank it down to a given spec. Manufacturers usually supply a 'max torque' spec, but a) max torque often isn't necessary to keep things in place and b) it's not necessarily safe to assume that the torque figure won't crunch the **** out of your post/bars/frame/whatev.
