Does that make sense? I have a biggy (25-100+ Nm), but would like a one with lower values, from 6 Nm upwards.

I've done a google search, which throws up loads, as you can imagine. I thought I'd ask for your comments and suggestions. I've a budget of £40ish.

I'm pretty sure Halfords do a small one. I have their medium one 8Nm-65Nm, which I'm very happy with. They also have one above that for torquing up house foundations or something

Edit: Scratch that, their smallest one seems to be the one I have clicky

Machine Mart have a Laser 1/4" drive one that may be useful, not used it though

Theres 3/8 size torque wrenches on ebay for round about the £15 - £20ish mark which typically have a range of 5Nm to 25Nm. Just go to ebay and search for torque wrenches.

I've been pondering over a screwdriver you can get from Machine Mart which has a torque range going up to only 10Nm. This would be great for things on the bike like alternator bolts and cam holder bolts which would strip precious threads if overtightened...a lot of money though for a screwdriver!
