As above
For a general no thrills one a Draper or Sealey one should be fine
I tried a cheap Argos one (1/2" square drive) once and it seemed fine
Took it to work and checked it on the calibrated tester and it was spot on
above 30 lbs/ft and just a bit out below this

Dare i admit but i was given an argos 1/2" drive jobbie for a birthday present quite some years ago & it still seems to be going strong.
Perksy has just given me even more reason to believe its ok for what im ever going to use it for

I have a small Britool up to 50 lb/ft which I used to use on bikes and a cheap Draper type which is used for anything that needs it. Most of the
things I've done heads on in the last few years have needed an angle gauge after the first tighten.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
