Default Torque wrenches...

Anyone know any good sources for these.

It seems like I will be needing a nice repeatable one in the 5-100 in/lb range for 10-32 screws and nuts. I am not sure
what the torque is that I will be using, the screws are AN509-R10 (MS24694 #10) and the nuts are MS21040-3. I have seen
from 20 in/lbs to 60 in/lbs for these.

TIA


I paid $aus250 for the smallest australian Warren & Brown.
it is a round section tempered beam with a separate rectangular
section pointer and a click indicator mechanism. measures 10 - 210
inch pounds.
almost impossible for it to go out of tolerance.
whole thing is under 9 inches long.
almost the only thing I use it for is tightening my prop bolts.
but worth every penny to get these right.

if you are totally stuck in the usa email
