Default Torque Wrench/Wheel Question

OK... I just got a 3 ton floorjack/jackstands, and now I plan on rotating my own tires.
Where can I get a good torque wrench for a pretty fair price, and how much do you torque the lugnuts to?? (on stock wheels)
thanks!

i have a crapsmen torque wrench and it works good. the thing i look for in a torque wrench is a well defined click. i hate the ones that barely click you mess stuff up with those. as far as the torgue specs it says in the manual under the tire section. i believe it is like 140 but not sure.

Bought one from Home Depot (Husky Brand). Works good, clicks loud, no problems so far. They go for $58+. The one I got was 1/2", 25-250 ft. lbs., with case, model# 39104.

Thanks 01SportSide... i'll run by Home Depot tomorrow! Sounds like a great deal, and I like how it clicks loud too.
