Didn’t realise they were that much! Might look after mine a bit better - it’s somewhere in the back of the Disco ready for the next puncture!


This is a contributing factor to labour charges, peeps tend to forget they are not only getting the expertise and experience of a skilled mechanic but also the tools, equipment, vehicles and premises he needs to do a job, the same applies to most businesses.
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Don't forget the Halfords Advanced stuff has a lifetime replacement warranty, although the fine print says torque wrenches need a current annual calibration to qualify.

Not used it for a torque wrench yet, but the warranty has been great on broken sockets. Just pop into a store and they replace it on the spot.

As this forum so frequently demonstrates Laughing
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Norbar are a very good make and used in the trade - a very old established firm known for their torque wrenches.


Still the go to make of torque wrench in the truck game, boss used to moan we wrecked to many, until i worked out that each wrench was doing in the region of 400000 wheel nuts a year.
We still break a couple a year.
