Sorry for the late reply... But WARNE offers one now for about 20 busks!!  Its got a TORX bit and is set @ 25inch pounds.

 The FAT wrench is nice but at more than double the cost.....

Sorry about that Bill...  :-[ :-[ :-[

 I realize I keep posting the wrong supplier and should be posting up supporters links.
 I just can never find what I'm looking for with there search and the other one is so user friendly what I want pops right up. Usually on the first try.

 I do but alot from MIDSOUTH too!!  ;D ;D

As ssssllllloooowww as midway's site has been every time I've been on it you should be able to look at nearly item on Midsouth's before you can get the first one to come up on midway's.  ::) I usually give up in frustration waiting on their site to fully load the first link I click there and cheaper than dirt owned by them is even slower.

Even the Wheeler torque wrench screwdriver which adjust from 10 to 65 inch lbs, is less $ on midsouth than midway.

FYI

 I wish I understood these damn puters better. But I gotta say, that site is plenty fast for me here. BUT the PHOTOBUCKET account I use for my pics is MIND NUMBINGLY slow.. At least on my puter here @ home. I log on other places and it seems normal speed. Go figure???  I have a fairly fast machine that's really streamlined for surfing with nothing extra as far as programs or anything to slow it down. Its been GREAT since my last problem and everything is speedy fast sans that photo site... go figure???

 Sorry for the hijack.. back to your reg scheduled thread subject.  ::)
