Re: Cheap(ish) torque wrench?
Look for the draper tools torque wrenches. The two will cost about 55 quid
Had one for 5 years and it's spot on

Re: Cheap(ish) torque wrench?
wow do people really use a torque wrench on their rear wheel nut. i only ever whip a torque wrench out on critical torque settings like cylinder heads and so fourth. all the rest i just snug up to what i think is tight enough, never had a bolt fall out or nut come off yet.

Re: Cheap(ish) torque wrench?
I do on the critical things as a check more than out. And my ratchet is a bit small for anything over 50nm
