recommendations for torque wrench pls

[Steve Jones]

Whilst I have no, specific, experience of the torque wrench, Halfords 'Professional' are a very good brand and they sell quality tools at sensible money. When bought new they have a lifetime guarantee and you have to be confident in your product to offer such a thing. Looking at the photo, it has both imperial and metric scales and that's important. Some torque wrenches are metric only and I vividly remember Malcolm and I changing a head gasket to a side valve Anzani engine at Prescott. We'd borrowed a torque wrench but it was metric only. We also knew the torque we wanted but only in imperial. Took some while before we found a clever chap who could convert one to the other!!
