I went and bought a 1/2" torque wrench from a place in Kitchener called
"Princess Auto", it cost something like $35cdn and has a ratchet end.  To
make sure I used a snap-on to test the accuracy against and it was right on
at 100ft/lbs.  It has no warrenty but at that price........

So there are deals out there :-) Besides, I don't use every single day
either.
