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/products/323500-warren-brown-deflecting-beam-torque-wrench-30-300nm-1-2?variant=1195541626890&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmPPYBRCgARIsALOziAPA2yUs4C6HYfXOdHj7 YAAPD1kmkMUlim84Ez1Ucvnwv1QmuJNsff4aAjuLEALw_wcB

it will cover most everything you would need to do on a car.
