Spec me a torque wrench.

One for basic bicycle maintenance. I see various reviews on shop accounts saying many are rubbish, inaccurate and difficult to set.

I don't want to break the bank but I'd like one that's reasonably accurate and won't break the first time I use it.

Any suggestions please?

I use the Lifeline one from Wiggle. It's seen me across 2 full bike builds and lots of maintenance and is still going strong

There's two, "professional" and "essential". I'm guessing the essential one will be enough for my needs.

I use this one for the low torque stuff - https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/040210674/

I was going to get the pro one but ended up going for the essential one. Bought it a few hours ago and will be delivered tomorrow. Can let you know if it's any good (I assume it's fine since it's got loads of 5*s)

Essential is what I have.

I have one from Superstar, but they don't seem to stock it anymore.

Works fine too, and I got it in a random 50% off sale.

I've ordered the Wiggle one with Quidco, thanks for the advice.
