Default 5 in. lbs. dial torque wrenches

Need to measure down to 5 in. lbs for bearing preload for assembling my lower drive unit.

Do aircraft mechanics uses these? Having trouble locating one.

Thanks

I GOT MINE FROM MAC TOOLS. I PAID 125.00 FOR IT. IT STARTS AT 10 INCH POUNDS BUT YOU CAN USE IT. IT IS ONLY A 1/4 INCH DRIVE YOU HAVE TO USE SOCKET ADAPTERS TO GO TO THE 1 5/16 SOCKET TO TURN THE PROP SHAFT WITH 2 REGULAR NUTS JAMMED TOGETHER ON THE PROP SHAFT. IF YOU SET IT AT AT 10 INCH POUNDS THE BEARINGS WILL WEAR IN AND LOOSEN UP A BIT ANY WAY.

Go to:
http://www.torqwrench.com/
This company has been manufacturing torque wrenches for a certain rather pricey tool company (starts with an "S") since 1938.
Look at the site, you'll recognize the brand.

Thanks

So a new Mac wrench was only $125? I would have expected more since the Snap-On is going for alot more than that.
Really don't want to buy for what will get used for a couple of minutes and then never again. Going to check with some mechanics at the airport I work at. Figure that if anyone uses them, they would.
