Do you remember if it clicks and releases the presure when torque is reached.

yeah mate torque wrenches click at the specified troque.
dont forget that they are not a tool that can be just thrown into the toolbag and get knocked about. its a precision tool it need to be in good nik

Sweet as long as it gives a clear indication that tha torque has been reached should be good,my mates looked like it clicked and eased off a bit.

Thanks everyone for your help I will jump on ebay and get that one.;)

Auditor won regardless hahahhaa

Looks like the kingcrome one that I've got

Hey guys just so you know, that one that looked like a rattle gun is electronicly controled. They are don't rattle but wind up using planerty gears and when the torque is reached they just stop. We use a cordless one at work and it is fantastic. Ours goes up 2 3000ft/lb and costs as much as a small country. Not sure if it would put teddy down for the count but. lol

That sounds familiar, the box is long gone. I got it from Sprint Auto Parts

I'd like one of these warren & brown ones http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Warren-Br...item3cc97cc1f1

But instead i have one of these supercheap ones http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...05#Description

It does the job clicks like you say but doesn't release if it did you would bash your knuckes up.
One thing to remember though is always take the tension all the way out when you have finished using them .

dont forget to wind them down after use because the mechanisum is under pressure and in time calibration will goe out
that is why i usethe beam one
hope you find this helpfull

I have a Warren and brown I got it from the old boy who is an aircraft fitter by trade. its about 30 years old and its still in spec.

Warren and Brown are very good tools do not skimp on torque wrenches these are definitely one of those things that you should outlay the extra cash for.
