Torque Wrenches for CenterLocks

Just bought a 2014 GT3. What are some of your choices for torque wrenches for the centerlocks that go to 450 ftlbs? Thanks for the feedback.

My GT3 just came with the socket. No torque wrench.

No torque wrench (I don't know of any cars that come with a torque wrench?)

Just the socket and pry tool (which sucks--I use a $2 small plastic pry tool or flat head screwdriver from the local hardware store) to get the caps off

It is actually easiest to get a second socket ($$$$$$$) ...... One for the breaker bar and one for the wrench because you have to tighten-loosen-tighten the center locks to secure them properly
