Fenton,

I have two torquee wrenches. One for top end rebuils, and one for pretty much everything else.

Get one that handled inch pounds, and you will find the one that handles the small torque settings you need for the top end.

Thanks

Hi, I saw a ride magazine article a while back, did a test on loads for accuracy etc, the top one was a Halfords Professional, got a better accuracy mark than a £250 snap on one. They are £50 so I bought one.

It has worked well for me so far for a couple of years and about six engine rebuilds on various bikes...

Oh yeah - there are two ranges 8nm to 60nm and 20 to 100 (or something) the 8-60 is a good range and means better accuracy at low torques.

Cheers, Mat.

Fenton the Strap-On ones are very good, though I think a bit steep for what else you can get. If you have the account though then it's interest free over 6 months... And their lifetime guarentee is a proper no quibbles one unlike some!

If your looking for a particular range to get, it depends on what the torque value is. You should choose the torque wrench when the value of torque falls between 1/4 and 7/8 of the indicated range of the wrench. Hope that helps.
