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

For the bigger stuff, this is what I've used for 5 years now and it's still accurate and dirt cheap. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/221712954679?nav=SEARCH 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. Last edited by cam; Mar 21st, 2015 at 07:57. Reason: forgot my torque leader, i think. |
