Good consistent Torque wrench?

Hey everyone, I'm needing a torque wrench that will cover 15, 30 and 55 ft/lbs. What do you guys recommend. This is to set machine vises.

I like Precision Instruments split beam torque wrenches but they don't have one single wrench that covers all the range you need.

+1 closest option is 10-50 ftlb.

Precision Tool has a 3/8" Clicker that will do these. That said, the 15 ft pound setting will be right at it's minimal setting which might not be the best solution for accuracy. I don't believe this particular wrench is shown on the company's site, you have to contact them, this is what I did to get a part number. I have two of their wrenches and like them.

+1, Norbar are great value and have a large range of Torque wrenches

Part of the Snap-On group also

For that range I would get two. Anything that is accurate at 55 is going to be marginal at best at 15.

Mfg take this into account and only display the "workable" range.

Thats why most every torque wrench can be physically set to a value above or below whats written.

+1 for CDI
