Very handy them, especially for that 1 bolt that no-one can ever get tight....

Id buy a set of them but I changed mine to allen headed stainless bolts about 2 years ago...

I think most torque wrenches don`t go as low as 8Nm, I hav three but only one goes that low, the other two start at 10 & 20 Nm IIRC

But if buying tools....

I think I'd rather buy a torque wrench than a single setting torque device.  Clearly I've missed the point ;D


Being a fan of the Hellfrauds torque wrenches, I have both the small one (8-60Nm) and the big boy (60 - 300Nm).  Not the cheapest options by a long shot, as even on trade the pair will set you back £80ish :o.  But as I do use them a fair bit, and they are much easier than those designed primarily for American market (with metric being an afterthought) its easier on my scarce grey matter cells ;D

Is that for the pair?  :o
They are about £80 each to the normal customer so that would be a great saving on trade if it's for both of them.  :-\
My Norbar 0-20Nm torque wrench died recently, hence my interest.  :)

Yeah, about £40 a pop last time I bought one. Retail prices haven't moved since, so doubt trade has either.
