<VV> torquing con rods

[Dennis Pleau]

I use a Craftsman click torque wrench.  It takes a lot of moving the crank
back and forth, but I can find a position to torque every nut.

What I'm looking for is combination of torque wrenches and sockets that best
work when torqueing the caps  on the con rods.
 
 With all the tools I have there seems to always be a few that I cannot get
the torque wrench on. Usually I use a short breaker bar and judge the
tightness compared to the torqued ones. I know this is close, but I'd feel
better if I could properly torque the nuts.
 
 I've built several engines and haven't had one fail due to loose or a tight
con rod nut.
