Auto express do tests on them available online. Halfords Professional are very good. J
@Rick If you start down this path, tools ....torque wrenches, forever it will empty your wallet, it will. However, he who has the most tools (or toys or bikes - choose your weapon) when he dies, wins!
Also, you need to choose the torque wrench which will suit your needs. I have three torque wrenches for the different torque settings, a 5-25 Nm, a 25-40 Nm (⅜ inch drive) and a 40-160Nm (½ inch drive). FYI, the front brake calliper to fork bolts are 38Nm, the Rear wheel bolt is 100Nm and the front wheel shaft is 50Nm and the corresponding clamping pinch bolts (RHS only) are 19Nm, so that's where you need all three torque wrenches to remove and attach the front wheel....
Brands? Halfords 'Professional' torque wrenches are top notch, wait for a sale. I have Teng Tools as well as Halfords Professional Torque Wrenches

Thankfully I started this path at 16. 
I’ve even got the ‘set’ (2.5 Nm) torque wrench for the manual cam chain tensioner. How sad is that.

have 4 torque wrenches, A big cheap one for things like the real wheel nuts, a couple of tiny ones for small things and my pushbike, and a rather expensive US made one I use on the bike. Once you strip out something like a spark plug socket you learn the value of them.
