In view of more than one stripped bolt (oil pan in particular) post, I'm getting a new 3/8 dr, inch pound torque wrench. I'm presuming I can multiply foot pounds by 12 to get inch pounds (16.5 ft lbs = 198 in lbs) so I'm thinking that a 20-250 in lbs wrench set on 198 (or 192 to be safe) will be more accurate than a 0-150 ft lbs wrench set on 16 1/2.
Are Sears tools still as good as they used to be? Can't do $300 on a pro grade Snap-On, Proto, SK, etc.. but $80 for what I'm hoping is still a very good quality tool will do quite nicely.
This is the wrench I'm looking to get.. Craftsman
Thanks.. Tom
