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. |

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. |
