Should I buy a torque wrench?
Was just randomly thinking about how tire shops offer torque checks after driving like 20 , 50 miles. Can't remember the exact number. I rarely ever get it checked but from some light googling it seems like it could be worth $50.

About torque checks : "It's a quick procedure, usually offered free of charge, which involves inspecting each lug nut on the wheel to check if they are too tight or too loose. If the lug nuts are too tight, they can cause severe problems such as stripping the fastener threads or stretching the wheel studs."

Here's one that's currently on sale at HD.
