Sealey torque wrench
« on: 07 February 2017, 21:11:31 »
Bought a small Sealey 4-24nm torque wrench from FFX.  No Sealey branding on it at all, just a load of Mao's poundland bullfish.  Is that how they're rolling these days or are FFX selling knock offs?  :-\

Most Sealey tools come from the same Chinese factories that produce a lot of the low cost tools we see here.  You pay a bit more for it to be badged Sealey than for the identically badged Clarke, which will be a bit more than the identical unbadged.

But if it is branded Sealey, it should have the Sealey sticker on it.

It has a cheap nasty label saying Sealey group on the box with an address with no postcode, which alerted my suspicions. The tool itself just says "premium" or some shiz.

Sounds like a knock off, have you a picture of the label. As a Sealey agent i can compare it against a proper lable

I bought an identical one from Andyc a few years ago. Very useful little tool. Especially for torquing down Omega camcovers.  :y
