Are you sure its really only 7-12 inch pounds? We've got three
1/4" drive beam-type torque wrenches in the lab (one's a Sears
Craftsman, BTW) and I can generate 25 or more inch pounds just
by grabbing a socket and twisting (and I'm no Ahnold S.). I'd
guess that 7-12 inch is just barely finger tight. Anyway, the
two of the three torque wrenches read to 200 inch pounds, and
the third reads to 120 inch pounds. Besides the Sears wrench,
the others appear to be industrial brands with which I'm not
familiar. I'd suspect that a good quality industrial tool
supply house, say one that carries Proto tools for example,
could get you such a wrench.
