Does anyone have a torque wrench that goes down to 15 ft/lb?
I am finishing up the head job on the bmw motorcycle and the head nut torque specs are 15 ft/lb. My wrench only goes down to 20.

I thought mine did until I snapped a valve cover bolt on my 944S.
Specs called for 15 foot pounds, and it snapped the bolt in two (bolt was designed to break at the neck if it was tightened beyond 20 pounds or so).
I believe the rule is that torque wrenchs are NOT accurate at the top or bottem end of their range.
