What percent of Porsche owners own a torque wrench?
Hmmmmm.... rhetorical I know.
This is another variation on the poser vs enthusiast question, but I've been thinking about this more now that I moved from a Boxster to a 911. Maybe a beter question is: What is the percentage of torque wrench ownership by Porsche model?
After floating on Boxster/Caymen boards and 911 boards, I get the distinct impression that the average Boxster Caymen owner is more of a gear head than a 911 owner - GT3 excluded.
Ok, talk amongst yourselves....
Peace

I know you may not have been looking for an exact answer, but I have seven; 2 x 1/2" 250 ft/lb, 1 x 3/8" 150 ft/lb , 1 x 3/8" micro 250 in/lbs. 3 x beam type, which I use for measuring things like torque to rotate when working on gears and stuff.

as small as the beam type one to set up ring and pinions
as large as the monster needed for my CL hubs
i like to cover all ranges and not use a wrench at the bottom end or top end of its range.

Sorry for this naive question, but I was planning to get a torque wrench to torque my lug bolts, since I don't trust that the tire shop or local indie shop always does this. What do you think? Paranoia or wise?

I do, in fact I will usually loosen them and start again. I've found more over-torqued lugs over the years than I have under-torqued.
