With a needed torque of only 16 lb-ft, I was nary going to trust my lb-ft range 1/2" drive Craftsman clicker. They just don't do well down that low in there range. I think 20 is the minimum anyway. I have 3/8" drive in-lb range Craftsman clicker type that goes up to 250 in-lb. 16 lb-ft converts to 192 in-lb. So, I tried the smaller torque wrench today. I went reeeaaalll easy with it. I never got it to click but did not go very hard at all. I know the rubber bushings are compressing but am paranoid to become another statistic in this thread.
Should I go get a beam type T-wrench?
