Personally I've used various Norbar wrenches over the last 35+ years and never had any problems, depending on the model you buy they can be factory serviced if there are issues..... not cheap though, but I don't tend to buy cheap tools .... they end up causing problems somewhere down the line.

Hope it helps

Well that's sorted your low torque needs.....
For the bigger stuff, this is what I've used for 5 years now and it's still accurate and dirt cheap.

If you're going to do the timing belt, you'll need bigger still up to 300 Nm and Halfords for around £80 is probably the best buy. No 300 Nm torque wrench will be cheap.

The Halfords ones are pretty good and I've just bought a much bigger Teng which seems pretty good too.

I have two digital us pro, 1/2 one was too strong for my motor bike so I bought the 3/8 and the torque range is just what I need, cam.

Also have a torque leader 3/8 which is for very low settings.
