when i torque down the 6 x 1.0/12Nm (1.2 kg-m, 9 lb-ft)

my torque wrench doesnt click or just stop turning the bolt, i already snapped one, but was able to get them off with needle nose

Just snug them up tight by hand, then give them a 1/4 turn to tighten them up. :?

That, or get a new torque wrench that reads that small of a number, because you're right, 9lbs isnt all that much.

Looks like I'm buying a torque wrench lol.

I have the small hand-held ones but they aren't adjustable, you just torque and torque until you can't torque no more :?

But it is a VERY important tool!

Choosing your tools is like choosing the parts for your car. You get what you put into it. :thumb:
