which in-lb torque wrench?
I'm just looking for something that's accurate and relatively cheap. Where can I find one?
I was looking on ebay and found these...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Aircr...5fPartsQ5fGear
(I borrowed something like this from Salvo but didn't really work because I had it set to 30 in-lbs and I was definitely applying more force than that)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INCH-...motiveQ5fTools
(I like the scale feature, it seems more reliable than the above one)
http://cgi.ebay.com/SNAP-ON-TORQOMET...3%3A1|294%3A50
(I like the gauge feature, I think I like this one the best but don't know how reliable it is)

I have a ~$50 from craftsman. Good quality piece for the price. its still no snap-on, matco, mac, etc but its a lot better than ones you find at harbor freight or other cheapies. Save the cheapies for the big torque stuff like 100+ ft/lbs where exact spec precision isn't as important as long as all bolts are torqued the same.
edit: sorry I just remember that when I got it, it was on sale and came with a free case too. now it costs more but this is it

Stick to the "clicker" type torque wrenches. They're alot easier to use. All you have to do is set the desired torque and tighten the fastener until it clicks. With the dial type or the beam type torque wrenches, you have to gradually tighten the fastener very carefully as you watch the dial or the beam and then stop right when you hit your desired torque. The clicker type torque wrench will save you alot of time and energy since you don't need to be fully concentrating on every single fastener that you tighten. Hope that helps.
