I've been tempted to pick up a torque wrench, too. I have a big Snap On for automotive purposes, but nothing suitable for chainsaw-scale work. Sadly the only adjustable T-handle torque wrench I've found tops out at 8 Nm, which is a bit low.

we got some where i work.....but i don't know what the #'s mean.....it has engraved cn.m with 40 thru 300....made by Kanon....i'm guessing that those #'s mean pounds? they're pretty small,and take hex head bits......oooof, i just looked up price for new, they want $190.00.......for a wrench.....

Well, nm means newton-meters, which is a metric unit for measuring torque. I believe cn.m means centi-newton meters, or hundredths of a newton meter. 40-300 cn.m would be for torquing very small screws, and not nearly strong enough for cylinder heads.

Most chainsaw fasteners I've encountered are around 8-15 N-m. That high end happens to be near the center range of torque for this Craftsman torque wrench:

A T-style torque wrench would be optimal but my Craftsman Micro-Clicker model gets the job done on my chainsaw cylinder bolts.

Most chainsaw fasteners are around 10-15 N-m. That happens to be the center range of torque for this Craftsman torque wrench:

ahhhhh ha, yeah, we use em on very tiny screws where the torque has to be precise

that looks like one we use every now and again, i think made by SK, this one has more fig newtons and inch pounds of 25-to-250....i have a poulan saw i can ''practice'' on.....farthest i've got so far is removing the clutch and oiler, so i don't think i'm quite ready for a piston swap on a big boy.....yet
