    Hi Lads,

    Just wondering if anybody knows of anywhere I could pick up a cheap Torque Wrench?! I'm not after a serious piece of Kit, as it will only be used on minor car services.. ideally something that torques between 18-60NM.

    I've looked in Halfraauds today, and the smallest one they sell starts at 40NM, and it's 90 quid!! :mad:

    Anybody have any idea where I might pick one up?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick replies lads!

    I've just looked at Argos, and their Torque Wrench would be too stong for me, I need something that can minimum torque at 18NM.

    The bike shop idea is probably my best bet, and thanks a mil Fletch for those links. I just looked at Cycle Super Stores as it is quite close to me, but jaysus! They wanted 180Euro for a small one, your link I can get for 40ish, so that's looking like my best option at the minute. Just in a bit of a rush to do a few jobs on my car.

    As for Lidl, again, the minimum setting is too high! :( But thanks, I'll check it out later when I'm going shopping for some bread! :)

    If you live near Cycle super Stores then you could try ringing Rathgar Motor Factors, they tend to have a pretty good stock of tools and parts.
