Dial Or Beam In-lb Torque Wrench

Anybody have any ideas as far as where to get a Dial/Beam in-lb torque wrench. Need one for doing rear gear setup and pretty difficult to find any. Use is to determine preload on the pinion gear in the diff, by reading the torque required to spin the pinion for those of you who didn't know.
Thanks for any help

Try this place, they have a 1/4" drive beam type torque wrench.

http://www.handsontools.com/

There are probably many others. Do you have any professional tool stores in your area?
