Digital Torque Adapter ??

What's the thinking on one of these for my scooter work.

I'd only be using it a few times a year for CVT and axel nuts.
Hate to go the expense of a full size digital wrench for the few times I'd use it.


I have two clicking torque wrenches - but have little faith in them.
I do not use a torque wrench for smaller fittings....ever.
(30 years experience of wrenching into alloy parts on aircooled VWs is what I use for smaller fittings)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

That's cute! For 60 bucks it better be cute! It will be the rage shortly....

Several videos on YT showing people use them to calibrate the clicking torque wrenches.
Looks good to me.....

I think that when it comes to stuff like that....if it helps motivate you to do the work, then get it.
I am still using a $12 chinese torque wrench that doesn't even center out at 0.
When I want to do a job, its not encouraging. 
If you don't mind me asking, how much money are we talking about, I might want one too

Fun!  But I'd likely use it only rarely.  There's no point torquing small scooter nuts and bolts, they're simply too small.   There's only 3 or 4 large nuts on most scooters, the axle nuts and the variator/clutch nuts, and they're  easy to handle with an electric impact wrench costing only about $60, and they don't have to be tightened precisely.
