Inexpensive torque wrench at Lidl

I just bought a torque wrench with accessories aimed at bicycle maintenance but it reads from 2-24 newton metres (17-210 inch pounds). Covers the majority of shooting related duties. It’s a quarter drive.
Currently on sale at Lidl for £15… a must-have in my humble opinion.
Not bad I’ll pop into idl on the way home see if I can pick one up
 
Problem is, the torque you'd want is at the lower end of the scale. Given cheap price, it's probably most inaccurate at that end (percentage wise). So if possible, try to compare to some more reputable example before using it.
 
£15? For the price of 2 pints worth a punt. As said above compare it - if you can.
It's got to be more accurate than a wild ar-ed guess with a screwdriver.

True, but quoted full-range accuracy is 4% - far better than the “that’ll do” employed hitherto. Furthermore, repeatability is good, certainly all I need. Oh, 0.1 adjustments. Not a professional grade tool but I have compared it to my Wiha (higher range) and it’s just fine.
Like my Lidl digital calliper (£10) vs my Mitutoyo (£190)?
Horses for courses.
