Recomend a good 8-60Nm torque wrench

[ELIMINATOR]

Ok guys, I don't want anecdotal statements about how good my torque wrench is, I get these things calibrated for work.
I am after an occassional use torque wrench, & feel loathe to part with £50 that Halfords want for their one.
Do any of you know of a cheaper item that you know (traceable to a national standard) meets customer expectations.I can get a Norbar from work at £50, which I'd rather buy than Halfords.
Thought I'd cracked it earlier, saw a test report stating that the Draper 3001A was not as quite as accurate as Halfords but some £20 cheaper, so got 1st prize in their test. Followed this up, appears to be a higher rating, which I already have.

I did this search late last year and the only one I could find in anything approaching a sensible price range was the Halfords version.

I used to have a cheap bar version that covered that range, but you need a little more space to work with one of those...

Try a Froogle Search for "torque wrench" and see if anything pops up - it sounds like you might be more technically competent to judge the results than I am.

I went for the Halfords' as well after I read a comparison on Bike Magazine. It came out very well, same as some other makes three times more expensive.

AutoExpress tested torque wrenches and the Draper 3001A won, at £29.99 it seems to be a good deal.

Shenzi, I looked at the web page for this, but when you look at Drapers home page this wrench does not go low enough for what I want.Thanks though.
