Title: Torque Wrench
Post by: ians on 04 March 2007, 19:01:30

Having been caught out on the cam covers without a torque wrench that goes as low as 8Nm, I thought a spot of shopping was called for.

What do you chaps think of this?

Its got 3/8 drive, which I prefer to 1/4 (on the STW101), not sure if there is any need to go down to 2Nm but nice to have just in case.

Cheers,
Ian

looks OK to me, quite a good price too, Sealey stuff is alright as far as I know ... the halfrauds 3/8 drive one is £50 and does 8-60Nm, which is OK if you don't have another 3/8" drive torque wrench already ...

The main thing I'm looking for is the low end torque range (my other wrench starts at 20Nm).   The drive is secondary but as most of the bits I'm likely to use are 3/8 that seems to make most sense to me.

Anyone know what the lowest torque setting is that one is likely to encounter on an Omega?

Price is quite good but the postage is fairly hefty.

Cheers,
Ian
