Torque wrench

[SkiSunday]

Quality torque wrench wanted. I'm building a car for next years Acadamy and need a torque wrench. Not sure what I need so help received with thanks.

Draper 1/2" square drive bendy pointer type - works a treat 😬 see here

 

Don't be seduced into "wasting" money on a torque wrench which is 'certified' and costs an arm and a leg

Hi Ski - I'm not far from you and have an engine crane you can borrow when you get to that stage (and probably a few other bits to save you needing to get everything.

Quite a big group of us managed to get a deal on a Britool wrench a couple of years ago.

 

The mid-range wrenches from Halfords or Teng seem as good as any. Up to 100Nm will do you for everything apart from the rear hub nuts for which you can borrow a wrench - or Caterham will torque them on the post build check anyway. [Or I have a 200lb/ft wrench you can borrow]. IMHO, at 200lb/ft you can do a weight/length calculation with a breaker bar.

Just a note : don't forget to unwind the torquewrench when not in use.
