I flubbed up the part number when I was placing the order for a new torque wrench and mistakenly got one that spans the range from 10 to 50 inch/lbs. (by the way, emaxaction.com had the lowest prices I could find on CDI [aka Snap-On] wrenches and the shipping was fast and customer support was helpful).
As this (and most other) torque wrenches are only certified for the top 80% of full scale, this means that the usable range for this wrench is 18 to 50 inch/lbs (about 1.5 to 4.2 foot/lbs).
At $130 for the wrench, I can think of better places to spend my money (especially as I'm currently replacing the HG) and am thinking about exchanging it for one with a more common range. However, if anyone thinks that it may be handy to keep around, I will reconsider.
Pretty much the only jobs I do that would call for a torque wrench would be working on the cruiser and my old 1988 Kawasaki Ninja 500.
So, after that wordy intro, should I keep the 10-50 in/lb wrench or send it back? Is there anything on a cruiser that calls out such a low torque spec?
Thanks!
