Default Aldi torque wrench - likely to be any good?

I much prefer the bar that bends type, they really cant go wrong. The
pointer can be bent out of position, but even then its obvious enough
and you just subtract the offset.

The trouble with them is that they tend to be on the long side and you
either can't get at them at all or you can't look at the dial at the same
time as you are heaving - and my one certainly did bend on some of those
wheel bolts. Once I had used a click stop one and torqued all up nicely,
just by listening for the click, with no skinned knuckles, the bendy bar
type was largely relegated to just another extension bar.
