Feel free to move this somewhere fitting, more exposure here of course
Is my Draper wrench faulty.
Doing up pedals on bike. ( different direction left and right ) , one way is fine clicks as you expect, other way doesn't click at all
Frightened striping threads
It's in no way old

Nope; I have a few cheapies to use for wheel nuts and stuff...they all work clockwise, but not anti.
The digital Snap-On jobby which is kept for more critical stuff like cylinder head bolt and big ends etc. does it both ways as well as torque angle. But with what that cost it bloody well should (£300).

Amazed, but thanks
This one was 60 or so. Iv got another one I paid similar for, for everything 3- 20nm for the bike as well - Im wonder whether thats the same
This has saved me from stripping threads. ( thought something was up )

Good point, I think this stems from doing up seat post clamp and breaking it.
,this is on tt bike
( carbon clamp and post )
And then having to source another, importer didn't seem to want to know
Eventually...I managed to find a ( much cheaper) copy

I torque my carbon bars and crank bolts but other than that, just do it by feel; you wont break a pedal. Just remember to grease the thread so you can undo it again.
Many injuries caused by very tight pedals suddenly letting go...

As above - no need to torque pedals.
Grease, hand tight and nip up with allen key.
For cleats I'd use locktight or similar, once you're 100% with positioning.

If you don't use copper grease though Ali, you can't get the wheel nuts off at a later date when they have corroded to the wheels

I attended a course on torque here: http://www.wchristie.com/torque-tool-training.html
and have to say as training courses go it was fascinating. Another good one was Hydraulics at the National fluid power centre.
