TORQUE WRENCHES

I see there is a subject opened on these..If a person was in the market and felt he needed 2 of these..What range would you suggest..
From what to what in I guess inch lbs..and or foot lbs.
Can a person get away with one or need 2.??
Whats the plan here..1 for the light little things and another for the bigger heavier tasks.

RE: TORQUE WRENCHES

both, I got the el cheapo from harbor freight(dont use it a lot) look in manuel for ranges the foot lb wrench at hf easily covered that one, the in lb wrenche was only shy on the real, real low end, which are to me no big deal.

I own three of them, all Craftsman.

An inch pounder from about 25 to 200 in/lbs
A foot pounder from about 10 to 100 ft/lbs
A foot pounder from about 50 to 200 ft/lbs

These threecover every fastener on a Harley. Torque wrenches are most accurate in the middle of theirranges so you really want a couple or three that overlap their ranges.
