Default Inch/Pound Torque Wrench

I've read a great deal of DIY stuff that lists in/lb torque specs in the 2 digit range, many under 50 but I can't seem to find a "reaonably" priced torque wrench locally that goes there. Most I find START at 120"/lb's. Is there any of the vendors here or on-line or even a local parts store you know carries one? I've checked most of the common local auto part houses.

25 to 250 inch pounds, may not be the cheapest but Sears is usually a good place to start looking

I got both of my torque wrenches through JC Whitney. They are reasonably good quality at a reasonable price.

I have the Harbor Frieght version.

We checked my HF wrenchagainst a really expensive recently calibrated unit and guess what?

It was right on at every point we checked.

That applied to the 1/4" in/lb, 3/8" ft/lb, & 1/2" ft/lb HF models that I picked up the same day.
