Default Aldi torque wrench - likely to be any good?

Why do you need one? There are few things (collapsible one-shot
collars is one) that require to be assembled to an accurate torque.
Mostly the function of a torque wrench is to assemble a number of
fasteners to a _consistent_ torque. Short-term repeatability matters,
but accuracy isn't really that big a deal for most tasks.
