Torque Wrench - SV650.org

Hi,

Has anybody got a useable torque wrench that I could buy? Struggling to get together £70 to buy a halfords pro one... Alternatively if you can recommend a cheaper one that still does a good job.

(I think the tightest one is 100Nm on the SV?)

I think you will have a problem with that, engineers consider a torque wrench is for life not just for xmas....

I got one similar to this ten years ago and it's still going strong and nowhere near £70.

Machine Mart or toolstation are about £30 for a 150Nm 1/2" torque wrench

Drapers are £27

Cheers for this! I could have ended up buying the wrong wrench that maxed out at 100Nm. Hopefully my Haines manual will arrive soon so I can check all of the settings in there.

Thanks all for your recommendations as well.
