Have a torque wrench but seeing as its one of he few things i havent repplaced recently and i am doing alot of dlicate engine work...time to buy a new one. The one i got was a bout £10 many years ago....
So questions questions
What brand - i almost always go sealey.....how are draper ?
1/2 or 3.8 or 3/4 drive?
whats the extremes i would need for working on a v6 torque wise?
Finally calibrated is it important ? I am looking at removeing and refitting heads etc so i dont want to botch thejob up due to poor wrench.
Any recommendations?? :)

4nm for cam covers 150 odd for wheel bearing...
Draper Expert are OK.
Most are accurate enough not to need calibration.
I reckon you'll need little one for delicate stuff, and a mans one for the big boys...

;D a little delicate torque wrench the wife can put in her handbag with the lippy, and a mans one that fits full length in the boot and gains admiring glances in the same way my new Scotty Cameron putter does ;)

Hmm no - a torque wrench will get more admiring glances from us than a golfing bat.

Golf has its uses. I went out the other afternoon (beats working) and lost an awful lot of aggression they. Plus I nearly killed my boss by nearly rolling the buggy, and again by not being able to stop for a hairpin turn on a 1 in 3 downhill bit.... (I'm not a hooligan on golf course either)

typical theres the boss, trying to teach you the finer things in life such as golf, and probably promote you at the same time......and whats Jamie doing???
Inspecting the finer suspension and geometry set up of the golf buggy!!!!
NOOOO you cant plug your techII into it and NOOOOO its not got a cam belt ;D

or more inportantly ABS ;D

I recently searched for a torque wrench. For engine work the only one that I found that would do the job was a short 3/8" from Halfords, 8-60Nm, for 50 quid. I don't think there is anything that needs 4Nm. It looks nice and should do the job if you can afford it. I ended up finding a mate with a 4-20Nm 1/4" drive and bought a 28-110Nm 1/2" drive from Argos for 15 quid. But I still lust for that Halford's wrench!

I can confirm that golf buggies have no ABS :-[ and rear wheel braking only :-[

Well it is more interesting than the game!
We have a company golf day - I man the office, but the last venue I was more bothered that it used to be a farm and some friends in a band lived in a cottage there and played a lot (of music)

Well i share with my mate a torque wrench this is some cheap clarke, we tested it at work in our gauge lab and it was doing 2nm more than you would set it, another friend of mine bought a super torque wrench, snap on electronic from ebay brand new for 250£ it would do +1 nm. My opinion is that if you ware not a pro then you don't need an expensive wrench.
