Tool question
OK, never owned a torque wrench, so I never paid much attention to stuff like this but ---
Should I get one that reads inch pounds or foot pounds?
What'* the lowest reading I will need? I found one that I like that will read as low as 10 foot pounds. Another that reads as low as 25 inch pounds
Yeah, kind of a newb question for a vet, but I haven't touch a torque wrench since I was an aircraft weapons system repairman 20 years ago......

I have both in a couple of differents sizes. If you're looking to buy just one, the one that reads in foot-pounds is the one that you will use more often.

Get both. I have one of each as well. And, don't buy the analog style ones. Buy one that clicks when you reach the torque.
My inch pounds wrench is 10-125. My foot pounds wrench is 10-150.
