Lowe's has the Kobalt 1/2-in drive digital torque wrench with torque angle on clearance for $99 where available
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-1...5001994789 Lowes Item number is 2884763 and Model number is 81732. This is limited availability and looks like it is in store only. There are two stores in my area that list it as in stock, and I saw one of them in the store. This is showing a lot of bad reviews, but some of them may be for a previous model.

If you want a step up from HF, the Husky 1/2" has been on sale for $60 for a while:

A good deal, but arguably not something you need to jump on urgently - historically it goes on sale at that price for a while once or twice a year.
If you don't mind a little more risk and or possible need for self-calibration, you can get a very high quality (Proto, Williams, Wright, etc) 1/2 torque wrench on eBay for roughly $60 shipped. If you're picky and patient, you can find a lightly used one at $60
