I have an ebike motor i'm planning on repairing but I can't for the life of me find a torque wrench that can accurately go down to 0.2Nm (equivalent of 1.75 in/lb I believe)

Does anyone in Auckland have one I could borrow, or does anyone know where I could even order one online and get it delivered to NZ? Amazon isn't looking helpful.

I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and I know that they exist for a reasonable price Garant Torque Screwdriver TQ with T-handle Fixed Automatic 0.2nm Triggering for Brose | eBike Motor Repair

Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

0.2Nm is nothing, barely finger tight.

Have you looked at the bike-specific models sold at Repco, Torpedo 7, Evo Cycles etc?

They use relatively low torque settings.

Yes, I have a couple already. Lowest torque setting I have available is 2Nm.

I know, i'm just told it's critical to get right. It's for a belt tensioner grub screw and one idea i'd had was to use a micrometer to check the depth before removing it and then just re-seating it to the same depth at the end.

Just went and looked at mine - exactly the same. Starts at 2Nm

The method described early in this thread, an exact weight on a lever of a certain length, will probably be more accurate than anything that's not very expensive. https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/getto-torque-wrench.8994/

Very interesting idea. Not sure why I didn't think about it myself to be honest.
