Remember, a lot of times the same wrench will give you what you need if you convert foot pounds to inch pounds or vise versa. 12in/lbs equals 1ft/lb, 18in/lbs equals 1.5ft/lbs, 24 in/lbs equals 2ft/lbs, etc. I realize that there could be instances where the range or possibly accuracy may be an issue but for general purpose use, one wrench will do.
