What do you use for low torque requirements?
A 'normal' torque wrench (for wheels) may start at a low end of @20lb/ft.
I want to replace my caliper slider pins. The torque for the bolt is 11 lb/ft.
Just tighten it by hand? or get a microtorque type of device (Sears has one that does in/ft)?
thanks

Like this $12 one??
I was thinking that if I were to get a torque wrench, I might as well get a decent one.
This one would go from 10 to 150 ft/lbs.
I just don't want to throw it out after 2 uses.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=239">Harbor cheapo torque wrench</a></li></ul>

They are good - I have one. And it was true what I said about having mine tested
at the HP labs - we had to have them done for our manufacturing lines. The guy who did the calibration on the wrenches said Sears were terrible. My HF wrench was within 0.1% accuracy.
