Oh, by the way
harbor freight has great torque wrenches too...cheaper than sears and just as accurate.[/QUOTE]
I just bought the 1/2 and 3/8 drive at HF $35 for BOTH...got a rain check on the 1/4 drive.....$15
I have a few HF things...welding stuff, tools...only thing I bought that I would give back is a portable band saw that doesnt have much torque...but I bought the lightweight model...reccomended for WOOD!...who uses a band saw for wood? My Bad.

I'd buy a 1/4" drive in inch lbs, then get a 3/8" drive and a 1/2" drive both in ft lbs. The 1/4" drive will be used a lot for derby covers and tightening handlebar switch covers and smaller items. The 3/8" for about everything else with the 1/2" drive for your rear axle nut (95-105 ft lbs). With Craftsman Torque Wrenchs just make sure you keep them in there case when not in use and at there lowest setting.

Sear's Torque Wrenches
Just got back from picking up the 10 - 75# torque wrench, $39.99. Joins the 1/4" & 3/8" inch pound wrenches & the 1/2" torque wrenches I already have. Lot's of people there at 5:10 am, but they a register open right accross from the torque wrenches. In & out of there in no time!

Try getting that setup on the left lower rocker box, rocker support plate or breather.

Be careful of what you buy. A lot of people reviewing those torque wrenches are complaining of the lock ring breaking and apparently the individual part cannot be bought to replace it according to one review. Also, most Craftsman hand tools have a lifetime warranty but these are only one year. I may still buy one, but I will probably leave a reminder note in the box I store it in to be careful of how I handle that lock ring.
