You are better off using a 3/8" or 1/2" for those (hard to find 1/4" caps for the BBs) and I would recommend a digital torque adapter or torque wrench if you really care for bi-directional accuracy IMHO.
But also IMHO, the most critical bolts are the smaller ones that need to be torqued decently high for sh!t not to creak, but at the same time are sensitive to strip - say chainring bolts, crank-arn bolts (for shimano hollowtech style 2-pc cranks) and ofc colars and seat binders and this and that on carbon frames. All of these are within this tool's ballpark.

Why do you think it says this then?
"Our 1/4-inch drive dual-direction torque wrench driver removes the guesswork, making it easy to follow the manufacturer's recommended settings. Each hand tool is shipped pre-calibration tested for accuracy, +/- 4% (clockwise) and +/- 6% (counter clockwise)."
I never required a torque wrench for something reverse threaded, and neither will 99+% of people, but I suppose if someone is buying a no-name torque wrench anyway...
I pretty much built my bike frame up, and the only thing I recall using a torque wrench on was the cassette, but i understand the concern on something like a $2000 carbon frame. Personally, I'd much prefer a T-handle torque driver like this for working on a bike if I wanted to spec out every little bolt.

You can also get it in mysterious Chinesium from many sources.

This isn't your typical torque wrench. It says 'bike tool' for a reason. One of those reasons being that many parts on a bike is reverse/counter-threaded; hence this tool is bi-directional.
Which parts are reverse threaded? I built my bike, but I can't recall. The only part I remember having a reverse thread was one side of the bottom bracket. I just applied a reasonable amount of torque by hand.
