I have at least 4, from 150 ft-lbs down to one meant for bicycle
spokes. and I need both extremes to reassemble the auto-locking hubs
on my truck.
A consumer-grade 100 in-lb torque wrench isn't necessarily accurate at
10 and it could let you break something delicate. The rule I heard was
not to use them much below half scale. The beam type may be safer
because you can easily see if it has been overloaded and bent. I
bought a 1/2" 8-point socket to check my click wrenches against a beam
one.
