Would this get the job done?

It will work for a while but if you use it with any regularity I am sure you will begin to lose calibration and end up tossing it or using it as a breaker bar. Go pick up a Craftsman. Torque wrench is a worthy investment and with the lifetime warranty and walk in swap outs why not buy a decent one.

Oh God, stay away from anything he builds. That's blasphemy.

SnapOn is King.

At home I would probably use it antil it broke, but I would check the calibration once in a while.

If I were building motors for a living hell no I would spend the money on a quality tool like a Snap-on, Mac or even a Craftsman.

I hardly ever have need for a torque wrench though since the axles on my Toy are simple to do correctly using a screwdriver and a hammer and everything else is pretty easy to figure how tight is tight enough.

Torque wrenches don't have lifetime warranty. :hs:
