Torque Wrench - SHAHZ - 13-07-2018
Afternoon all, want to get a torque wrench for the wheel nuts, can anyone make any recommendations as to what to get, as in what size (3/8", 1/2", 1/4") reversable, square drive???????
THIS seems a good deal from £60 down to £27 delivered!

Sealey is good equipment and 1/2 inch should be fine as you can purchase adaptors

Argos one comes complete with 3/8 adaptor and 5inch extension, ideal for wheel nuts.

Never been to Argos for tools

Sorry chaps-I must have got in wrong, if you only want an occasional wheel nut torque then why pay for a branded name when something like the ARGOS challenge brand will do.
In my shed I have ARGOS 240v drill, orbital sander, hand car polisher, jigsaw, detail sander and they all offer more spec than the relevant black and decker at half the price, but then it is all down to the case of "unbranded",

Hey phil, your spot on mate, it is just for occasional use, but when the branded name is the same price, or a better one is available for just a little more I don't see the point of getting the Argos own brand
