Dave, allegedly Teng make the Halfords Professional range.
I bought the 3892AG-E3 - Teng Tools 3/8" drive 20-100Nm Torque Wrench a while ago and it's been great. Does most things on the motor as it has a good range.
Torque Wrenches Calibrated On Manufacture-3892AG-E3 - Teng Tools 3/8" drive 20-100Nm Torque Wrench
I bought from these people too no issues.

I recently purchased the Halfords Professional Torque Wrench & am happy with it so far. Had to go for the one at £49 to get the right one for the torque settings for the wheels. Smaller & larger wrenches are available.
The torque wrench has a solid feel to it & has a locking mechanism after you have set the desired torque.

I will own up & say I also purchased the 150 piece Professional set.
I only wanted a set I could take to track days (same for the wrench) so bang for buck I reckon I done okay.
Do remember that if ANY part of the Professional set breaks you get a free replacement...no quibble..lol.
Come on Dazza rip it to bits

I must confess to being a bit of a "Pro" myself. Lot of tool for your money as they say in the trade.I do have some Snap On & the odd Britool as well.

id heard the halfords pro torque wrenches were made by sykes & Pickavant.
They come with a calibration certificate so id imagine theyre not bad tbh.

I have one of the Halfords professional ones and seems like a quality item.
In all honesty, I don't think you can get better quality for the money than the Halfords Pro range.
