I concur with Craig. If your'e going to buy a torque wrench, buy a good one
and stay away from Taiwanese junk. I tried that. Bought one from Harbor
Freight (cheap). You get just what you pay for. I suspected that the torques
wern't right and had it checked out by an instrumentation lab at work. Was
repeatably 35 in/lbs over set value. Couldn't set low enough to use and
finally just threw it out. Real bargain. I bought one from Avery Tools for
$150.00 (same as those made for Snap-On). Was right on the money for torque
values. It's your plane and your life on the line. What's it worth?
