I noticed a good article from John Herminghaus regarding torquing of bolts
in the LNN today.

In it he commiserates over the expensive prices for the in/lb wrenches.

Harbor Freight on occasion sells a 1/4" drive torque wrench for under
$50.00 - I think it's closer to $30.  I bought a set of three torque
wrenches from them 1/4"drive, 3/8" drive and 1/2" drive.  I bet I paid under
$100 for all three and they seem to be of reasonably good quality.

[Interesting tidbit, John... I'm wondering where you'd take or send their
wrenches for calibration?  I'm of the impression that using an uncalibrated
torque wrench isn't much better than not using one at all.  Just curious.
