Here's a craftsman torque wrench that measures 25-250 in lbs, plenty for many of the "low torque" fasteners on bikes.

You'd need a normal torque wrench for things like crank bolts.
Besides, "beam type" torque wrenches are awful... Yeah sure I'm going to carefully look at the scale at a angle perpendicular to its surface while I'm holding the crank in place and trying to tighten it ridiculously tight. Sounds like a great idea.
All I gather from your whining is a genuine lack of experience.
How is a 3/8" drive going to limit you? Torque is torque. A 1/8" thicker drive isn't going to make a difference.
