Default 'Small' torque wrench
Every torque wrench I have (ok both of them) are about 1.5'-2' long. This is a really pain in the butt when doing things like torquing the bolts that hold the rear caliper holder in place etc.

Does anyone have a line on a 'smaller' torque wrench? Something the size of a normal 6"-8" ratchet would be perfect for working in confined spaces.

Thanks!

Default SK has some shorter ones..
11" and 13", even a screwdriver style one..
Haven't really seen anything much smaller than those though.
