troublesome Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Anyone recommend a cheapish Torque Wrench? New wheels should be coming soon, so fitting bolt on spacers and rims.... looking for a torque wrench as assume i will need one... They range from £15ish-£100's... Anyone help me out here, obviously closer to the £15ish the better Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz0 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm also needing to purchase one as well. I've seen a few relatively cheap ones on machine mart and screw fix, but I'm a bit sceptical of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee22 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I've got 2 Sealeys and a Draper, for different torque ranges. All seem pretty well made and if you shop about you can get them reasonably cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 halford pro one is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Got a new Draper ratchet torque wrench 3/8"square drive for £29 next day delivery from Amazon Very wide range of torque (10-120Nm) and also calibrated in in/lb. This is similar spec to the Halford one which costs twice as much Machine mart carry only max 10-80nm ranged wrenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 To note the Halfords one - short handle was £69 I think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 halford pro one is pretty good +1 - fairly expensive for Halfords, but very well made, and the pro range comes with a lifetime guarentee IIRC. Had mine for a few years now and its been 100% reliable. Remember these things are an investment and last for years if looked after right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Oh, and if you feel cheeky, try telling them you've forgotten your trade card. They may apply the discount anyway, in which case it whacks about 20% off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 the trade card gets a whopping amount off of a torque wrench if i remember, if you know a mate with one you only need the code from the card so you can get iot off them via text or the phone. the halfrauds ones are actually really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
