Beam type torque wrenches are often looked down on but they never go out of calibration. If you can find the right unit I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. I've got a couple of expensive dial type Snap-On's (made by Precision Instruments) but they are fragile and I've broken the internal mechanism before on one of them when tightening a sticky bolt, so much of the time I break out the beam unit.

Edit: this unit would be pretty good for torquing stem bolts and such...https://www.amazon.com/Presa-CP31006...078028&sr=1-95
