Torque screwdrivers are available in in. lb. and in. oz. ranges. generally from zero to 36 in lb. and I can't remember
what the in. oz. range is. Try Proto tools. The tool has a 1/4 in. square drive so you will need a socket or some
other adapter to hold the bit or allen wrench. Snap-On has dial torque wrenches that may fit the bill also.

If you're looking for a chart of the proper torque for the various screw sizes, also remember that what the screw goes into is just as critical as the screw itself. Aluminum is soft, compared to most any screw material except solid brass. See also:

The second one is probably the one you really want . . .

Randy also sells a breakaway torque driver.
