If anyones looking to buy one, Norbar are the ones to go for

 

13049 - NORBAR - TORQUE WRENCH, 330, PROFESSIONAL | Farnell United Kingdom

 

£120 quid for one that will do nearly all chippers under 12"

 

Never buy cheap ones from the local market or budget supermarkets etc they are a waste of money and may cause damage or injury.

 

I get mine calibrated every year and for a laugh we tested one I got from the market when I was a lad, it was 30% out! Norbar allow 5% I think. Even Snapon ones are'nt that great they allow 10% and can't be adjusted or repaired.
