Default torque wrench for the DS

What are you guys using?

I seem to have lost my old toque wrench and am in need of one for my DS. I'm looking for recommendations on the torque range I will need to cover most of the torque specs on the DS. Does anybody know the lowest and highest torque setting that are specified for the DS? I'm also wondering if one torque wrench will do or will I need to purchase both a larger 1/2" (ft/lbs) drive and smaller 3/8" (in/lbs) drive.

I have both. I think the highest torque settings was the Rear hub nut at like 172 ft lbs, the lowest I remember was the rear axle bearings bolts you loosen for chain adjustment. Like 15 ft lbs??? I just use an in. lbs divided by 12 on them. They say it will work like that...
I'm sure their are others. Those are the highest & lowest & can think of.

I have Craftsman brand wrenches. They are both nice, however my brother bought a Falcom brand. It is made in Europe & is a branch of S&K tools. It looks exactly like an S&K torque wrench except for color. Same dail, markings, grips etc. Maybe the internals are different... But it measures 25-250 ft lbs & only costs like $69 !!!! It was a great buy.

Speaking of S&K... I bought a $181 screw driver set from them. Awesome product. Imagine my surprise after checking them over seeing "Made in France" stamped on them!!! FRANCE!!!!! European products are OK, but those French....
Oh wait, I ride a French Canadien quad. Never mind.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

All the 6mm bolts are 89 inch pounds, and there is a lot of them. Also Hi torque items are clutch basket, and magnito which require larger sockets, if you got a small one that does inch pounds and a half inch drive one, you would have all bases covered.. I only have a 3/8 drive, and that don't do it all.
