Help me with a good IN LB Torque wrench

[Jazzman442]

I am in need of a good inch pound torque wrench.

Any suggestions would be great. I can only find the Dial kind.

I have several pound feet ones but do not know anything about the Inch Pound ones.

Divide by 12?

These are what I use:

For values < 20 in. lbs.:

For higher values:

Divide by 12?

shouldn't that be multiply?

10 ft. lb. = 120 in. lb.

I am replacing the intake manifold gaskets on my suburban. Torque is really crucial as to not crack the manifold. All of my TW are higher than 20 pounds.

It is like 44 In Pounds first then final is something like 88 In Pounds.

I've been using a craftsman one for about ten years. I needed it for bead lock tires and also had a hard time finding one. I've been very happy with mine. Oh, it also gets used when replacing glow plugs on my 2008 Grand Cherokee.

I've got two micrometer/click types:

Snap-on QJR117F 1/4" drive 20 - 200
Bonney Utica TCI150RA 3/8" drive 30-150

Probably can't find the Bonney Utica any more, but a Snap-on (or similar) version should be available.

Interestingly, the Snap-on is marked in "LB IN" and the Bonney Utica is in "IN LB"

I have that one and love it. Super high quality.
I got mine off ebay for $140 shipped. Brand New.

I have a Matco that I love.

I also have a CDI but the forward/reverse lever is weak and never seems to stay in place

I have a good Craftsman one, but it is over 10 years old and Made in the USA.

Cdi.

I use a USA made "Precision Instruments" clicker. Have been very happy with it so far(2) years old.

I think they make the best split beams...

I used this to replace the intake manifold on my car, similar torque ratings, seems to be pretty decent quality, feels better than my 3 YO craftsman 3/8" and 1/2" torque wrenches.

I also have a CDI and I'm happy with it. They're on Amazon for around $120 with Prime.

 

[Jazzman442]

I can only find the one that Siteman sent. Does anyone have any links to the others?

I have a couple of Tekton torque wrenches, but this is a CDI from Amazon.

I really prefer dial wrenches for inch pound measurements when possible. I know you can't always see the dial but sometimes it's really hard feel the click on micrometer wrench at low torque specs. I'd check out the CDI 0-250 dial type inch pound wrenches on Amazon for around $140.
