Hi, all.

I will need to replace my woofers on my Merlin speakers. And in speaking with Rich Brkich (thank you so much again, Rich!) I will need to torque the woofers down at 10 inch pounds per screw. Would it be better to get a tool that goes from 3 to 15 inch pounds or one that goes from 10 to 50 inch pounds?

One is a CDI 151SM that ranges from 3-15 inch pounds and the other is a Capri CP21075 which ranges from 10-50 inch pounds.

I'm leaning toward the Capri, as it appears to be a better quality tool and it comes with a calibration certificate. My concern is if I'm only needing to be at its lowest available setting, would it be as accurate as the other one where the pressure I need to be at is in the middle of its available range?

Or is my reasoning off and either tool will be as accurate as the other?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Mamoru
