In my dental business, I've learned that the highest quality equipment is what works best and gives a higher quality result more easily for me. I don't make my living with shop tools and for some reason, I find that the cheap air tools etc I buy from HF usually are adequate for a one time project like my IVP. Some of them I throw away or just dont' use. Don't have a clue about the accuracy of these torque wrenches, but it would be interesting to have them calibrated and evaluated wouldn't it? I'm also wondering since the manual never addresses torquing, if it's that critical??? If the only purpose of the wrench is to avoid gross overtorquing as John suggests, is a cheap tool adequate? Food for thought. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
