I'm resurrecting this thread, because it has good pointers on toolboxes and it talks about tools.

On torque wrenches, TimMullen said that "A 3/8 inch drive 10-80 foot pound version of so would be a good one to start with." Questions that I have are:
  1. What is the difference between a 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch torque wrench?
  2. If I get a 10-80 foot pound torque wrench, what do I do about the rear hub nut that needs 220 Nm = 162 foot pounds?

Another related and interesting thread would be the one on The perfect Elise / Exige tool set, as well as the Uberpost.
