With the HF wrenches, they are cheap enough that you can get 3 wrenches to cover all your needs for under $40.
the problem with budget clicker wrenches is that they loose calibration over a short period of time due to inelastic deformation of the spring. quality wrenches should also be able to handle 80-90% of their rated load with 2-6% error. I prefer to use different tools - you can use whatever you want.
