A dial caliper is handier and easier/quicker to read than a Mic.




That's true but not always the best choice. Checking valve shims for instance. They need to be measured in the center and a caliper will stop on the edges and leave the wear surface unmeasured.

I had 3 Torque wrenches 1/4, 3/8ths, and a 1/2" and I still had to hunt for and buy two more to cover all the Nm values in the manual. Mainly the lighter values required are hard to cover as most T. wrenches start out too high.




As torque wrenches go, for the smaller adjustments I prefer a beam type 1/4" and/or 3/8" drive, they start at "0". For higher torques a "clicker" is fine.
