Default Torque Wrench
Ello, folks, I have only ever used a extending wrench thing to undo / tighten my wheel nuts.

Keen to get a adjustable torque wrench so I know what pressure I'm applying - any recommendations?

To date I haven't had any wheels fall off.

I have just purchased a Norbar TTi250 today, my current Clarke one only goes up to 210nm and I need 250nm for my latest project.

I got it from Halfords market place, was considering Cromwell tools, they have a web offer on the 300nm variant at 119.99 delivered at the moment.

Teng and Snap on are good but cost a little more.. but you do get the quality...

I have Laser Torque wrenches and they seem to do the job fine but are very much budget items...

£80 well spent, seems a nice bit of kit, now to get testing it out.
