I`m thinking about buying a torque wrench. The problem is I can`t find one to cover the vast array of torque settings needed. I`ve seen 5-25NM, 40-210NM, 20-110NM and 40-200NM. Are there any out there with a greater range? What do most people go for? Cheers

 

I think the one I have is around 20-110, or it might be 40-210, but I DO know that the lower torques aren't that much of a problem on a car, and that if you buy one with a HUGE range, it'll be less accurate: the smaller the difference in the range, generally, the more accurate, so a 20-80 would be MORE accurate than say a 100-200?

 

I have 2. One for the low settings on the engine and another for wheels and big engine bits.

 

Ah right, that makes sense

You`re just posh having two

 

 

Good idea though

 

I have just bought one and it torques from 60-320nm, it was a reasonable price from Cromwell Tools

 

have a look at the range from halfruads, well priced and actually come with a calibration certificate unlike most of the other 'cheap' options

 

I keep threatening to buy a smaller 1/4" drive one for working solely on my Titanium framed mountain bike.........Now THAT really IS posh

 

Already got one and its SNAP-ON
To go with my 3/8"-1/2" and 3/4" one's.
Now thats posh
Oh and calibrated every 12 months,i need to able to get the torque settings right on headlights believe it or not

 

Posh and loaded
