Hi Guys,
I've managed to scrape by for so long without one of these, but i think the time has now come to invest! I've spotted one on fleabay and wondered what you chaps thought?
This one has a low torque range as to cover the 8nm for the cam covers, so i'm thinking this is a good one to start with...

Cheers and happy new year. :)

It's difficult to get by with just one. You need at least a couple.

i though so, i just want to buy one for now as don't need a heavy duty one as yet, although i do plan do drop the gearbox/clutch later in year to resolve my fragging clutch so maybe i'd need a heavy duty one then...
What's sealy make like? are they trustworthy?
Cheers

Some poniters:
4NM - brake discd securing bolt (but Torque Wrench not really mandatory here)
8NM - cam covers and throttle body etc, so you will need this value as minimum.
110NM - road wheel bolts. This would be your normal upper value.
320NM - front bearings.... only needed if you intend to do those though.
I covered the range from 8Nm to 320NM using four torque wrenches.
HTH.

When I was a lad I had a Triumph herald. I had a hammer, two screwdrivers (flat +phillips) and a set of open-enders. Never needed anything else. :y

You could sit on the front wheel while fixing the engine too. :y
Although normally, you were probably busy elsewhere with the Isopon!

Apart from the tram home, you're pretty much spot on :y
