It's great for 2 situations:
(1) people who only ever need to torque lug bolts in this torque neighborhood
(2) people who torque lug bolts all the time.
The angled handle provides clearance specifically needed with wheels, it's always and issue with a regular non-flex-head torque wrench. Also it's pretty hard to make a dumb mistake like forgetting to convert units when it's preset.

You bring up a good point. I don't know the limits on my (2) 3/8 drive wrenches!!!! My other cars only needed around 80 ft-lb!! Gotta check.
