Looking to buy a torque wrench and it looks like the Fasst is no longer available. I have found an Excel but you have to buy a lot of the heads separate. I also found an OTC that comes with all head sizes but it had horrible reviews on amazon. I know from my automotive background that OTC is generally good stuff so looking for some input if you have either of these.

Also, what do you put on the threads? Oil? Grease? Anti-seize? I ask because that will certainly affect the torque reading.
in spoke torques. (Yes, I use a torque wrench. Pit Posse. Love it!) Cuz as I'm getting it in that
final true phase, if I were to go around and set them all to 45 or whatever, it will pull it off true a little.
Am I gooning out somewhere?
I use anti-sieze on the threads.
Some will tell you this or that but I have built a bunch. I used to have a side job with a shop and I only went in to build and fix wheels. I never once used a spoke torque wrench. They are not needed, I have seen several people over tighten and bend the fuck out of their brand new rim trying to set them to a certain spec.
