RE: Help choosing torque wrench
they have one in 3/8's that goes down to 20 inchlbs thisis the one you need. pay attention and get it in inchlbs and not foot lbs. 10 ft lbs would be 120 inch pounds which is to high for many bolts on your bike. i prefer one that clicks.

RE: Help choosing torque wrench
This is a great thread!
I have lots of torque wrenches! My faviorite is the Snap-on 3/8s it has a "buzzer" that tells you to quit pulling!
the funny thing is, is that after doing my whole 95 in install, on the engine, I just threw the exhaust nuts on and just did them by feel! no T wrench required!
PS use some anti-size on before you put you nuts back on! this will help smooth out the torquing!

Mine is a Huskybought at Home Depot. Salesman told me Husky is the old craftsman manufacturer. Husky tools are high quality and they have a no questions asked return policy. Said they willreplacebroken tools "even yourCraftsman" with Husky at any Home Depot.

Wow! I never imagined I would touch on a subject so dear to everyones hearts. =P
Thanks for all of the suggestions, I did get the 3/8 Craftsman but ended up not needing it to change the pipes.

All I find at the Home Depot website is the Husky 1/2 in drive 50-250 ft lbs? And half of the reviews at the Sears site say that the Sears item #00944593000 Mfr. model #44593wrench is crap?
