[TR] Torque Wrench

[John & Pat Donnelly]

It will probably cost as much to get the calibration checked as it would be
for a new one. Although I'm not sure how closely calibrated it needs to be?
It may be fine with +/- 10%. That wide a swing on the head bolts only puts
115 lbs on the bolts/nuts, which surely will take that. The place to worry
about is into aluminum, but using a 1/2in drive wrench is not a tool to use
here.
