What gauge 1/2” 3/8’ drive??
Sealey Teng or Draper are okay for home mechanic

I bought one of these back in October last year. It’s pretty good. Dunno if your axle nut is within its range but there’s probably a heavy duty 1/2” version?

Whatever you do don’t buy a Draper torque wrench. After a very short space of time mine became self aware and started doing it’s own thing!
Best stick to something decent, i like Norbar who I believe make torque wrenches for other people, Halfords to name but one.

Not sure about a digital one???

I’d buy a decent quality analogue tool. Always remember to unload the adjuster before you store it away.

Halfords advance range.
They have 3/8 and 1/2 drive. They also come with a calibration certificate. I took all my torque wrench’s for checking last year, and my Halfords was still spot on after about 20 years.

I've always considered it best practise, but...

Do Torque Wrenches Need To Be Wound Back To Zero After Use?

Certainly, if a torque wrench is wound back at all it should not be adjusted below the minimum scale marking (usually 20% of maximum) - never to zero as this can adversely affect the calibration of the wrench. Beyond that, it really depends on the ap

Thanks for that! I've always zeroed mine, I wonder how accurate they are now? The minimum scale markings on mine (3) are all zero, rather than 20% of max ??? Intuitively, it does feel right to me to unload the tension.
