of 10-150 in\/lb.\u00a0 It has the usual 4% accuracy when tightening which I&#8217;m ok with.\u00a0 I&#8217;m pretty sure I can measure the torque on an AN3 bolt\/nut by hand feel but it&#8217;s better to be accurate than lucky.\u00a0 Markings are very clear and it&#8217;s small, lightweight and comes with a nice carrying case.<\/p>\n<p><a
