Can someone recommend a decent torque wrench for around the 25 quid mark? Cheers.

Quality tools cost decent money,I would not trust a torque wrench at the 'budget' end of the price scale.

Seem to remember that Practical Classic's tested torque wrenches a while ago....

I bought a Draper one, based on some magazine test some time ago, Autoexpress it might have been. It was the most accurate at the lower end of the price range, about £45 iirc.

Some of them were miles out though 8O I think the Clarke one was torquing up something like 33% lower than specified.
