[Closed] Tell me about Torque wrenches - recommendations?

I got a sealey one off amazon for about thirty quid, covers 2-25nm if i remember right.
People will tell you you dont need one, and that its useless unless you have it calibrated, but bikes are delicate nowadays and if you get one with a certificate of accuracy and look after it it'll teach you what 5nm feels like- which is not much.

Thanks Sweepy....I'll check out Sealey's website

I bought a Giant branded one a few weeks ago for £60. Ussed it yesterday for the first time and I was stunned at how much I was overtightening things previously with my shovel like hands..

I bought two for building my first bike - Halfrauds professional torque wrench 8-60NM and a BBB torque wrench which covers 2-24NM and which I use the most.

I have a Norbar SLO 3/8sq dr (model 11034) which covers 2-20Nm, also a bigger one for the BB which goes up to around 30-50Nm

I only use the smaller one so wouldn't bother getting anything that covers more than 20Nm

Norbar have a new range out called [b][url= http://www.norbar.com/Products/tabid/54/view/product/category_multid/1/range_multid/304/id/11161/Default.aspx ]Tru Torque[/url][/b] and their full range can be bought from [b][url= http://www.toolstop.co.uk/norbar-m104 ]Toolstop[/url][/b]

I've used Sykes Pickavant and Britool ones in the past. I fancy one of those Ritchey ones which have one torque setting for rotor bolts and stem face plate bolts.

Get some onew in the states to buy a Park Tools one [£57] and post it to you, Why they are £115 over here **** knows.
