Cant go wrong with Wiha for any type of driver but you'll also get ten other opinions, as always.

Torque! ....as in: "The screw terminal wasn't torqued down causing high resistance and substantial heat just before the house burned down."

um...uh... "T"...... "O"....."R"....uhhhh......"K"

i have noticed those don't take regular bits and gotta buy the ...shafts... separately but, i think they are insulated unlike the Torque drivers from Wright/ for the bigger lugs i see some guys use the 1/4 torque wrenches.

Nope, you can get them that accept the typical 11/4" hex bits. This plus a 1/4" torque wrench will take care of anything Joe homeowner will encounter. One thing to note, look for the widest and thickest flat blade bit you can find. Some of the clamp screws you will encounter on breakers or panel busses can strip out if you use a narrow bladed bit and try to achieve the listed torque.
