I asked about the torque wrench because I only have a 1/2" drive electronic one that I use on wheel nuts, calibers, things like that. The best thing about is that I don't have to convert Nm into Ft-Lbs. I don't think it could read that low and I've never owned a 1/4" or 3/8" one. I have a screwdriver style torque wrench but it goes from 10 to 65 in-lbs and is meant for scope rings.

This is a good small torque wrench that is accurate enough for working on a motorcycle and won’t break the bank. Also the small size makes it possible to use on those triple bolts without having to take off the fairing or use adapters. Also as long as your torques are within +/- 10% of the spec it’s still ok per Ducati service manual so it doesn’t have to be dead nuts exact. I’d spend more money on a good set of hex bits.

Yes, Proto is on the mil spec vendor list for calibrated measuring equipment. Dude I get it, your a hack, you don’t know a lot and you’re obviously ok with junk. Is what it is. Oh and what happened to the rant about ignoring people, I thought you blocked me?

You do realize that mil spec doesn’t mean anything other than the product just meets military specification, which is NOT an indicator of accuracy or precision. They just meet a standard. And if you’re not military purchaser, and you’re buying as a consumer you’re falling for marketing. In fact, a mil spec Proto 3/8” drive torque wrench that costs $300 has the same accuracy as a $40 Tekton—4%. You just don’t have the NIST certification, which as a consumer you don’t need bc you’re not working on something where the measurement needs to be traced (ie aerospace, aircraft, other highly regulated complex applications).

I ignore you, not blocked. That way I can glean practical information that you sometimes give and ignore the other nonsense.

Ha thanks for the clarification so if I do use these particular tools while servicing certified aircraft components you’ll give me a hall pass on my foolish tool selection?

What torque wrench are you using to read that low?

It's Toptul brand, the range is 1.5nm to 30 1/4" drive
