IIRC, the axle nuts are the only "normal" maintenance items that you'll need a 1/2" drive torque wrench for. A 3/8" should handle the rest.

Keep in mind that a torque wrench is most accurate at the center of its range. Consequently, you're better off buying a range of good torque wrenches if you are going to be doing this for a while.

One of my mottos, "A man can never have too many tools or too many bikes. He can have too small a garage, but not too many bikes and tools."
