You can buy a craftsman for the price of that wrench and shipping...or very close.
Unless this is a micrometer type with bi-directional torque checking, I would just hit up Sears.com
Note that most cheap micrometer type torque wrenches only torque on a clockwise (right) turn. bi-directional torquing means it will do torque checking on both directions.
The $24 Craftsman is a needle-type, but is accurate enough for casual bike work.
