Torque wrench suggestions?

[Ollie GBR]

My big old 1/2" Land Rover torque wrench isn't acurate enough for delicate aluminum bolts at 9nm on the GS.
Can anyone suggest something a little smaller in the 3/8" range, that is precise enough at low torque settings?

Cheers
Ollie

Gedore tools

Strongly recommend Gedore sockets, spanners,drives and wrenches...Made in Germany..quality gear and not to expensive... They also made a cheaper range branded as Corolus whichi salso good.

First had a imperial set given to me by my dad in the 80s. He had them for at least 20 years. they had no burring or stress scars on the inside...

I recently bought a 5-50Nm wrench ona 3/8 drive spefically for my last K and it is now being used on the 1150 GSA..

Search for gedore. the wrench is by Dremotec part number 4549-05. its about £75 and worth every penny and a pleasure to use...consider how many times youl use it,,,

I also bought a 70-200Nm wrench for the bigger jobs. I bought a Teng wrench who make quite reasonable stuff .

"use the right tool for the right job"

Good luck Send me a pm for more info..

I agree....Halfords professional range is also quite good...however their wrenches are not calibrated before leaving the factory....not accurate...
