Torque Wrench

[karl2000]

Lidl have got 1/2" torque wrenches in for £20.

Bought one in the name.of science and it seems accurate when compared to my hellfrauds one.

Especially for DIY use £20 isn't much more than the price of a ratchet, so no excuses to now use the scaffold pole putting your wheels on

Doubles up for BFH if no good !

I don't need any more, but what's the range Karl ?

80 - 210 Nm

Quite solid would make good BFH

I checked the calibration on my Halfords 3/8th drive TW and it's bang on the money so if the Lidl cheapy is as good

If it’s a spring loaded torque wrench, I have the habit to put it back to minimum value when I don’ use it. That way the spring keeps its strength.

Absolutely correct, and should always be done
