does any one have good or bad about this tool? It seems to be the most reasonable

I'm sure my big wrench will cover the upper sizes

That KD looks like a good wrench, but unless you plan on several like TwiZted's got, I think you'd be better off with a wrench with a little more range than 10-50 in lbs. That's only a little over 4 ft. lbs. at it's upper limit. Something with a range of 25-250 in. lbs. is probably a little more versatile.
What's the lower range of your "big" wrench? Is your "big" wrench a half-inch drive ft. lb. wrench? If so, I have a feeling your going to have quite a gap between the two.
Just something to consider.

Guys I'll apologize I'm a builder so nothing on a motor or drive train goes past me without the proper torque wrench used on it , and I applaud anyone who has the sense to want to do it right and ask's about the right tools . Don't look at my over the top stuff as intimidating please make it a target to achieve instead

You still need one of the cheap bender bar style lb/in 1/4" drive torque wenches for measuring turning torque when setting up tapered roller bearings. But you sure do have at least one of everything else . . .

It seems to be the most reasonable???? TZ 's NASA garage.. Sure wish you lived up the street TZ. My excuse for a inch lb wrench. Made it years ago to set up 4x4 differentials. Still use it if I need accuracy?
