http://www.performancebike.com/shop/....cfm?SKU=11387 and they don't seem to ship to Australia.

Anyone got any ideas on how I might go about having one shipped to OZ?
Berny, the way I see it, you've got 2 options. Either find a seller on ebay that will post to Oz, or just source a torque wrench locally. Last time I checked, Park Tools in Oz were 4x the US$. The postage on that wrench won't be too cheap either, I'm guessing another US$10. By the time it gets here, You'll probably have spent A$60-70. Have you checked locally to see what you can get a similar one here for?

Note: I use a Sears Craftsman "Breakover" style torque wrench, and I'm quite happy with it. They can be found on ebay as well, but again, postage would be even higher than the beam type.
