For the AeroVee 80, what torque wrenches are you using for the spark plugs and Oil Sump Plate? Anyone using a Digital Torque Adapter or Inch Pound Torque Wrench?

I use an in-lb wrench for the plugs. I used a torque wrench on the sump plate the first time, and just tore up the 6 copper washers. Use a 10mm nut driver setup and do them by hand.

I think I have 7 torque wrenches. The purpose of the hobby is to buy tools.
