Re: torque wrench

["Mr. Eddy" <eperson@students.uiuc.edu>]

I remember seeing this deal on the autox list. 
Harbor freight has their Pittsburgh 1/2" micrometer-style torque wrench on
sale for $9.99 right now.  This is the only kind of torque wrench i would
use, the kind with the little pointer sucks.  Yes, they will cover any
range of torques you will probably need, 10-150 ft-lbs i think.  I have
used similar ones to this one and have never had any trouble with them.
Its not craftsman quality or anything but I doubt you could ever break it
and its hard to go wrong for 10 bucks.  Its got a lifetime warranty too.
Heres the link:
