Torque wrench... Vendors welcome

Hey folks. Today I ran into a situation at work where I needed a torque wrench that was in Oz/in. Not the usual lb/ft.

I found a couple of options through google, but just wanted to see in anyone here had any recommendations for one.

Thanks for the help.

(it works both ways)

You beat me to it, but I'll post my favorite conversion site to.

http://www.onlineconversion.com/torque.htm

Op, yes please tell us what you were torquing. It had to be TINY to bother using those units.

Well if i only used it occasion I'd certainly just convert the units. But it's a tool I use often enough to where it'd be a good idea to keep a spare in the car. Just in case I drive 2 hrs to a client only to realize I left that bugger at home (read, what I did today).

I work on hematology instruments, this one today happened to be a little French built unit.
