Torque wrenches

Very first thing I'd do is double triple check that torque figure. 18ft lbs sounds WAY high...........

Double tripled checked...it's actually 18-20ft-lbs.

On an allison. Sounds bout right. I solved by buying an inch pound wrench and just do the math when it comes up. So 18 X 12 = 216 inch pounds

That is what I was going to do...until I dug out my Husky cheapo in-pd torque wrench. On the collar above the handle it has 16 markings, which made me think that there is 16in-pds to 1ft-pd...
