There have been too many times where something like this would have been great. It also has a torque conversion chart, and a degree wheel for TTY fasteners. They make some with huge ratios to torque bolts to thousands of pounds, but cost thousands of dollars.

I never heard of a torque multiplier. Thanks for the info.

What was the last tool I bought? I don't know: I haven't bought my last tool yet ;-)
