Thanks. I did try a search first but didn't see that.

I like the Norbar TT20 1/4" (13262). Not cheap, but nice to work with, has a useful range for bike stuff (1-20N.m), and Norbar has a very good reputation:

I'm using it with this bit set:

Yossie says:

Cheap and very good, last a lifetime for amateur: Sealey Draper 2 - 12 NM
Mid range: Get a Teng or Facom
Expensive and last forever for pro: Snap On

He also asks me to remind you that you want 2 - 12 Nm NOT Ft/Lbs - two entirely different things. The only time you'll have to go above 12Nm on a pushie is the rear cassette lock ring that is 40Nm.

+ 1 for Facom tools, although I would rate = to Snap On, if not superior!
