Phil,
Up until the need to crank the rear hub's axle nut to 220-250 lbs, the Sears
1/2" drive that went to 150 met all my needs for: lug nuts, suspension,
flywheel, fan eliminator kit etc. I prefer the "click" type because you
can't always see a dial or a beam but you can hear that click.

Subject: [TR] Tools - Optimum torque wrench size?
List:
All this talk of tools and wrenches brings a question....if one has
only enough bucks for one torque wrench, what size would be most useful for
working
on your British car? I have a TR6 and MGBGT, so certainly it would have to
be large enough to do lug nuts (70 lbs on TR6). What is the smallest able
to accomplish this, plus other tasks?
Phil Bacon
