Have you considered a beam type torque wrench like this one? Most beam torque wrenches have scales for both forward and reverse.
Park Tool makes a ratcheting torque wrench with a range of 3-15 Nm that they explicitly state is reversible.
I use this 3/8 drive Neiko beam torque wrench for low torque applications. It's affordable and I like how I can visually see the torque scale. The scale starts at 50 lbf-in and moves in increments of 50 all the way up to 800 lbf-in. I prefer using the N-m scale, though.
For 15-25 lbf-ft accuracy, you should get the 1/4 drive beam wrench.
If you want a digital all-in-one torque wrench, I hear the ACDelco 3/8 and 1/2 digital torque wrenches are very accurate from 3 lbf-ft to something over 100 lbf-ft. Just be extra cautious when applying low torque with these.
Park Tool discontinued their beam type torque wrenches in 2016.
Why. :< Like seriously.
I just use two different beam types. The little one gets the most use, and the big one is there for the rest.
The little one is this random thing on Amazon. Taiwanese brand. Not sure if this tool in particular is made in Taiwan or China. 0-9 Nm, 0-80 in lbs scale.
I also wanted a big beam type that went up to 70 newton meters without going very far beyond that. I think that pretty much covers everything, even the bottom brackets that require a ton of torque.
So I got the Park Tool TW-2. I caved and just bought one on ebay (old stock still in packaging) for a premium. The TW-2 scale goes up to 600 inch pounds or 70 newton meters.
The following will get you out of most mechanical issues:
workstand
mini ratchet
set of hex bits for ratchet
1-10ish Nm torque wrench
10-100ish Nm torque wrench with adapter for 1/4" drive bits
Park spoke keys
homemade bearing/bb press out of plumbing odds and ends
Park chain checker
Park mini chain tool
Park chain whip
Park master link pliers
Park hollowtech crank cap tool

No he won't. All you need is a torque wrench, you may already have one, if not, a beam wrench like this is preferable to a click style for something like this.
Don't listen to people telling you to level your scope to your rifle. Anyone who tells you this has no idea what they are talking about and just repeating what other idiots told them, this is not a thing, and it does nothing.
Optimally what you want is the scope mounted so that the elevation adjustments bisect the bore, and the way to do this is through a live fire test, levels mounted to your rifle and scope wont do this (and that's what your idiot "gunsmith" is going to do, you will have paid him for nothing. ).
