Torque Wrench
01. Jun 2009 at 18:08

Anyone recommend a half decent torque wrench under the £50 mark. Obviously needs to do most jobs on the miggy so 8NM to say 50NM would suffice!

Or has anyone got a spare that they want to sell? Don't mind secondhand anything is better than what I have!!

I think mine is a bit **** as I seem to be snapping bolts all over the place so its time to invest in a new one.

thanks Thumbs Up!

How can I get hold of a halfords trade card?

Go into Halfords & ask for one, but you have to be in the motor trade or as some on here have done "flashed their VX trade card & got one". I tried to get one, but was refused as i don't work in the motor trade, though i do repair winches that run on air, diesel, petrol & electric. Sucks i think Sad

Went to Halfords and bought the one Mike has today. The only place that I could find the sealey one is on ebay and I couldn't wait that long!! Paid full price for it though as couldn't get trade card.
