Harbor Freight sells a small inch-pound torque wrench, but if you have no other use for it I wouldn't buy one just for this. If you tighten by hand until they feel tight but not super tight you'll be OK.

Thanks for that info,, but I just got back from HF and bought the 20-200 inch lb wrench on sale for $9.99. Can't beat that.

Tried to torque one of them and 62 in lbs seemed to be a bit much,, I mean just by the feel of it. There is no way I could get it that tight with my fingers.
Where did the 62 in lbs come from?

I have a couple of Harbor Freight torque wrenches. They work OK but one of them doesn't give a very noticeable click when it reaches the setting. The click is there but you really have to pay attention.

Somebody on the Forum posted it a while ago and I made a note because I knew I was going to need it. It's only 5 ft lbs - more than finger tight, I guess, but not a whole lot.

I'm waiting for the reset tool to come before I put the TPMS on the rims just to make sure they work.
