Learn to tighten things just enough and you won't need a torque wrench. If what you tightened later loosens or slips then tighten it a little tighter next time.

Many of the torques specified are the maximum torque they don't want you to exceed. Not the torque you must be at.

It's a bicycle.

If you have to have two or three torque wrenches then figure out which you'll use the most and get a good one. The one you use the least can be a cheapo

Or, instead of the breaking torque wrench get a beam torque wrench which are accurate and usually inexpensive. Their only negative for me is sometimes they are difficult to read from the position you have to use them from.
