Need a new torque wrench

Halfords have a good range

 

Tbh I would look at this - Halfords Professional Torque Wrench 40-200Nm
Cat code: 200139

If it's only for wheels then it would be fine, digital are hundreds I am looking at snap-on....deep breath

Yup, it's very cheap. Probably not all that accurate either. But I only use it for wheel bolts and providing it's even within 10% it's good enough, not had a wheel come lose yet and used it many many times on both the meg and clio.

 

steve if you can wait til next week I may be able to get you one from work, I cant promise nothing, but we have tools that slightly go out of cal for aircraft use and cant be used no more but are fine for everything else, if you can wait I will ask the guys ok amigo

 

I will know by tues at the latest, like I said I cant promise as they get put away as quarantined , but if I can get one when its in the failed and not fixed box then bingo

 

Halfords one did me fine cheap with a trade card too

 

I got a draper one.. It came with a calibration cert and cost me about 20 quid new.. Used it for my wheels a few times and does the job... but it midnight can sort you one worth the wait.

 

steve ive pm'd you my mobie mate can you gimme a ring asap )

 

All sorted mate , sent you a text with a link to have a gander at make n model, if ya happy ring or text , happy days

 

Last year I bought a torque wrench from Carolus for wheel the wheels. If my memory is correct the brand is in some way related to Gedore.

 

I'm using a HAZET 5122-1 CT and been very pleased with it. bought from ebay.

 

Whats the torque settings for the wheels Btw?

 

I asked that when mark black was doing my brakes and he does them at 130Nm(96 ft lbs roughly)
but I am calibrating steves to 172Nm +/- 3 (130 ft ibs roughly) so that wheel def aint coming off lol.

 

its on the door sticker, 140NM

 

Its 140nm as its marked inside the door , i have a aldi special torque wrench its seems ok , just make sure you wind the spring tension off when not using it

 

+1 for Teng.

 

touch of Optimol stop corrosion and 130Nm, no issue last 12 years and plenty track use, have no faith in thread integrity over 130 really.
