Wouldn't a ft lb 3/8 wrench work for oil pan bolts etc? I have just seen clearance problems with my 1/2. Like I had to run an extension bc the head and socket were too big to fit in the space, but a 3/8 would probably fit. That extension just screwed up all my torque settings.

3/8 20-100 ft lb $262
