Anyone have an inch pound torque wrench I can borrow?

Or anyone know where I can obtain one rather inexpensively?

I bought one at Sears and it turns out it's a foot pounds and I needed an inch pounds one for checking pinion bearing preload.

I'm currently swapping in some 4.88's into my D30 and D44 combo.

Any help would be appreciated.


Merry Christmas to all.

Check again at Sears - as I recall, they carry "beam-type" torque wrenches in pound-inches for a reasonable price (a "clicker" type flat will not work for you, and dial types are seriously spendy...)

They should have them on hand - I've seen them in the stores as recently as last month.

Sears sell inch-lb torque wrenches too. I bought one by mistake once.

I'll have to try a different Sears then.

The one in Long Beach off of Bellflower Blvd does NOT carry the inch pounds version. Only the foot pounds.

I'll look for another Sears.

Thanks for the tips.

I have the one you need, however I'm not close to you. It's the dial type.
