nope they dont, been there done that and had no luck. this has to be a "bar type" torque wrench, Not a "click type".

i think i have one. Its the small one that is for less force, right?
Let me know. i can bring it to my clinic and you can grab it.

FYI, I could not find one for sale in Calgary and ended up buying one off of E-bay.

Got mine on ebay delivered to my door, around $40 or $50 if  I remember right. I went thru the same as you and after exhausting everywhere in Calgary I could think of I went the ebay route.

You could try an Snap On or Mac dealer but I think they wanted over $200 for the stupid thing.

If you are really stuck you can borrow mine but I live in Cochrane.....
