Vanagon cylinder head bolts are torgued at 26 ft-lbs. So this torgue wrench
is not really suitable for vanagon engine rebuild works. I got a Craftsman
digi-torgue with torgue ranges from about 6 ft-lb up to about 100 ft-lb (not
sure about the high number). This torgue wrench has a 3/8 head. I bought it
quite many years ago form Sears catalogue for $40+.
