Cory, that's an automotive tool. Torque wrenches become increasingly unreliable the closer you get to their limits, either up or down. The are most accurate right in the middle of their range. I throw out the bottom and top 10-20% of the range to avoid those inaccuracies. That wrench is probably reliable from 40-180 inch/lbs or so. Some specialists tell me I am generous, and they only use them within the middle 50% of range, throwing out the top and bottom 25%. That means its reasonably accurate from 60-160 inch/lbs. There are lots of things on rifles that need less than 20 inch pounds or about 20 inch pounds.
Rings are typically 13-25 inch/lbs, for instance.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
