Anyone have a favourite they use on the bike?

Have got an MPART Precision one 3-14Nm and am Looking at this:

Seems a good deal?

Anyone got any experience of it?

Cheers, John

I some snap on ones on offer last year as they seem to be pushing there new electronic ones
But I prefer the mechanical click type.

Have some topeak ones at work and they seem
To work very well and a fair bit cheaper than snap on

The top (functioning part) of those mpart ones looks exactly like my Sealey's . Which have clicked away happily without me stripping anything for 5 or so years. I'd say go for it. The only negatives are that it wont work on reverse threads and it doesnt come with any "bits".

Here's mine (now a lot cheaper than when I got it):

Of course you dont actually NEED one etc.

I got a couple of ex MOD Norbar ones off eBay.

Dirt cheap, calibrated & a good quality make.

I'm quite happy with the 1/4 drive 5-15nm MachineMart one as well which is surprisingly accurate given its price.

I'm happy with the Superstar one. It comes with the drive bits too.

Yep...SuperStar one:

http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=550

Have one very similar.....But it only goes to 14Nm (just like mine) - I need one with a bigger range just like:

http://www.rutlandcycling.com/41007/Cyclepro-Torque-Wrench-Tool-with-3-8--Drive.html

Just wanted to know if it was worth the £10 more than say:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140808996561?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Which seems equally as good....But doesn't go to 30Nm only 25Nm.

Cheers, John
