I bought a new torque wrench specifically for my upcoming OFHG job nexuses lots of steel bolts into aluminum. 2-20 ft·lb range.
Last time I installed chain covers I had to use my over sized torque adapter which I can't set below 10 ft·lb but will register at about 5. Definitely not the precision I want.
It's well worth getting a proper tool vs. seat of pants when you can pick up basic torque wrench for $30-50 (I paid more to get a digital readout).
