    Torque wrench range recommendation

    The garage thief has eaten my torque wrench, so time to buy a new 1/2" drive unit. What brand and range should I be looking for? Will be doing front hub seals, wheel brags and brake disk upgrade next. Thanks

    I have a Warren & Brown 30 to 300nm Deflecting Beam style. Got it on special and it included a reversible ratchet attachment. More accurate than a micrometer type , but you have to remember to reset the indicator button each time. Something like this https://torquewrenches.com.au/produc...4aAjuLEALw_wcB
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
