I looked everywhere for a 72 inch/pound torque wrench? The one I found start at 120 inch/pounds. Is there a different way? Thanks
 
No dwight, you really need one that gets down that low. Look for a 3/8" if not 1/4" drive. Btw, 72 inch pounds is the same as 6 foot pounds which isn't very much torque at all.
 
The typical inexpensive torque wrench in a 1/4" drive is rated at a max of 150 in/lbs. Or so,...whether it's a deflecting beam type (least expensive), or a micrometer style does not matter.

Any torque wrench which has decent resolution of 0>50 or 0>100 ft/lbs. Can be used as long as you can accurately read 6 ft/lbs. Or 72 in/lbs. In some manner.
 
Beam style(with the pointer) would be your best bet. Three that come to mind would be park, available at bicycle shops for instance, kd and seekonk. Seekonk makes their own. An online tool store would be good source to look. They ain't expensive, and they're much better for checking pre-loads too so there's that for versatility. 1/4" drive is norm for ones that go that low.
