It made a genuine 10 ft.lb.

I always have a feeling that they set the die for the HW99S ( as HW took over BSF ) ?

Have fun

The 99S is the most recent iteration of the HW50 which was introduced in the early 1950's predating the BSF B55 by a couple of decades,and reported to be Herman Weihrauch's favourite production model.If anything BSF would have been influenced by HW rather than the other way around.
