I got a lovely Laser torque wrench for Xmas. Just got to get a 22mm socket for it and I'll be sorted for rear wheel shennanigens!

Decent quality tools are a must at some point, though- stop me rounding the already less than sharp Suzuki bolts on me lovely bike...

I tend to use torque wrenches more on engines, don't tend to bother on corroded, greasy fasteners on the outside of the bike

I got a set from there, they Hella ones badged as Halfords, they're really bright I think they were around the £22 mark though, good for being seen but no so good for seeing by so you might want think about another front light.
