Several recent threads about oil screens has me thinking I need to invest in another tool - a torque wrench that is more accurate at the lower end of scale. To that end, seeking recommendations for which inch pound torque wrench to buy. What do you have and would you recommend it? I suspect there will be lots of different opinions, but lets hear them!

Great question - I don't have an answer and I'm following this thread - but my approach on the common, smaller stuff (like the sump bolt) is that I have the conversion from inches to feet printed out and right in the case with the wrench. Saves me from doing the calculation (wrong) each time.
(The oil sump plate is 9 ft/lbs which is 108 inch/lbs...not a pound more. I also stay away from messing with the screen for just that reason - that thread really makes me itch) |

On the SnapOn:
• Accurate to ±4% clockwise and ±6% counterclockwise from 20% of full scale to full scale Interesting - I did a quick look at the Amazon offerings and kinda kept moving when I saw the same specs but maybe that's the industry standard. |
