I want to buy a reasonably priced digital protractor\inclinometer and a

decent torque wrench that can handle inch-pounds.



My current wratcheting torque wrench is perhaps of questionable quality or

at the very least it is not idiot proof.  It is designed to torque as low as

25 in-lbs, but it let me strip the heck out of a few bolts on the wings.

Don't trust the thing now.



Any recommendations?



Thanks!

Try Snap On for the torque wrench. I have the dial model works great.

Don,



I bought one from Sears (torque wrench) and then had it calibrated to insure it was accurate.  I had my Aircraft Maint shop send it in as they have theirs calibrated every year.  If they don't pass calibration they are junk.  Sounds like yours may be.
