A warning: these kinds of cheap, "adjustable" torque wrenches are often not calibrated properly from the factory, or will lose their calibration within a couple of uses. And unlike higher quality products, they can't be reliably recalibrated.
If you need to install a new carbon bar, fork steerer, or seatpost, go to a shop which has a proper, calibrated torque wrench and ask to use it. Most shops won't charge you. Still nervous? Pay them to do it. A good LBS will take responsibility for damage they cause, the company which made this thing will not.
I've worked in the industry for 20 years and seen a lot of over torqued carbon.
All that said, beam displacement is a home mechanic's best friend. Cheap, accurate, and decently durable, although not exactly portable. Learn how to use one correctly and it will maintain accuracy quite a long time. Park has a redesigned, smaller 3/8" drive model that's a great price and has a very useful torque range particularly for mountain bike applications.

That said, you can get a good piece for under $100. I've used several Park models and they're generally fine. Their torques can be recalibrated and their warranty support is pretty good. I have heard good things about Topeak, but haven't used any of their torque wrenches.
I use an Effetto at work, but I think they cost well over $200, so obviously stupid for a consumer.
Honestly unless you are adjusting your carbon setup(s) multiple times a year, I wouldn't buy one for home use. I'd much rather show a customer how to do something delicate for free with our tools than have them go buy some garbage tool and suffer the consequences. A good mechanic is going to be happy to show you how to do something properly, even if you're not buying anything.
