    You just need a standard torque wrench with a 3/8 square drive, plus one of these:

    I've got a really good torque wrench for £25 in my sales list here:

    What's your problem Giant Man?
    He's looking for a torque wrench - I have one for sale; I only brought it to his attention as he's unlikely to have looked in the MTB parts forum.
    In addition, I answered his question about using a torque wrench with HTII bottom bracket cups, so even if he doesn't want the wrench i have for sale, my post has hopefully served some useful purpose. Unlike yours.

    I gave up on torquing bike components - its not needed.

    There are 3 settings for a bike using common sense.

    Very light - fingertip tight. Carbon
    Tight - hand tight. Bottom bracket cups GXP
    Very tight - body weight grunt tight. Pedals & bottom brackets.

    Unless wrenches are well calibrated and looked after they do more harm than good through bitter experience.
