Most normal torque wrenches are for significantly higher torque than the 4-6Nm required for carbon bike parts. Generally, you want to use a torque wrench in the 20%-80% of it's maximum torque for best accuracy.

Small bike torque wrenches are optimized for easy use in tight spaces and at the correct torque range.
