Recommend me a torque wrench
james h - 6/4/12 at 03:34 PM

I've been needing one for ages now, and since I'm starting the re rebuild its about time I got one.

Which brand, range of torque settings and prices should I look out for?

Cheers

James

Righto, I've got myself one of those. Seems pretty good, thanks for your suggestion! The lower end of the range is 28Nm, and I think I need one with a lower range as well. So does anyone have an idea about where I could get a less heavy duty one?

I use a 3/8 drive Laser wrench for bike engine work, much smaller than a 1/2 drive, seems to give more 'feel' whic is what you need when torquing into alloy.
