Torque Wrench
« on: 29 October 2007, 15:44:52 »
Can anyone recommend a decent Torque Wrench that isn't going to break the bank? there's loads on Ebay for £15-£20...but are they any good?

It depends what you want it for (range).  I would be suspicious in that price range though.
I have a Sealey 5-25nm (I think..) which was about 30 quid as I recall.

That looks just the ticket!!! The last torque wrench I had had a habit of stripping threads, so I would rather get something that is recommended.

Cheers chaps.

that's similar to the Sealey one I have.  Excellent range too.
