Re: torque wrench ?
Hmm never heard that before and doesn't sound like a good idea. Spend a little money and get a nice low level torque wrench.
Shout I went to a Whole Sale tool place and bought a Cal-Hawk 1/2 Torque wrench for pretty cheap. I have used it for a couple years. The other day a guy had a torque tool in the shop to check his torque wrench and mine was only off a couple foot lbs. I was pretty impressed with it. And it is well worth the money to know that the torque is correct. I would suggest a 3/8 for most things. I use the 1/2 for wheels and suspension stuff.

Re: torque wrench ?
i guess you could lift a 90 lb weight and put that same amount of pull on a 6" pull handle and that would work. yea that would be the same ha ha ha
