As to the percentage question i don't really understand your question. If you have a torque wrench that reads from 0 to 100 ft/lbs and most of your bolts need to be torques to say 8 ft/lbs then yes...you are in the lower range for THAT torque wrench. You should get a smaller torque wrench. In that particular case (since you are so low on the scale) you would probably get a torque wrench that reads in inch/lbs. Remember.....12inch/lbs = 1 foot/lb
That was my question if we do work in the low end range a lot, seems ill need to grab one

eh screw foot/lb , its N/M we work on Japanese bikes!
