I've posted about this before but couldn't find my original post via search so apologies for asking again. I'm looking for advice on recommendations for a torque wrench (possibly digital)?

I appreciate that they can come in different torque ranges but am only looking to purchase one if possible - I don't plan major surgery but want to be able to check things like wheel nuts and so on

Thanks

I bought a Draper Expert Model 77993 40-200 nm 1/2-Inch Square Drive Electronic Precision Torque Wrench from Amazon in 2010 as it was on an offer then. Cost just over £150, down from around £300.

It's a digital one with presets for torque. It also comes with a calibration cert which I felt was an important item as so often you have no way of knowing how accurate these tools are. If I remember rightly, you can send it back to them for recal if necessary but I don't know how expensive or necessary that is for the 'amateur' mechnic. I would think the tolerance variation in our type of use is fine.

Draper also do a smaller one which is a 3/8" drive covering 27-135 nm, and an even smaller 1/4" one for 6-30 nm. Both these are over £100 as well though.

Thanks - the offer is still on on Amazon
