Lidl torque wrench?

[Gerbutt]

Has anyone got the torque wrench that lidl sell and do you think it's ok?

It does the job I need it for, very limited use and wouldn't buy one if using it every day

[Gerbutt]

It'll mainly just be for chipper blades, but as most nuts and bolts have a torque setting it may get used more often. I'll have a gander in machine mart to see what they have.

I have the Halfords professional range torque wrench, for something as important as torque settings on chipper blades I wouldn't skimp on this particular item. I seem to remember it was around 60 - 70 quid with the discount card.

Should do for that just better quality sockets

Got to say I've been changing chipper blades for over 15 years and never used a torque wrench, never had any problem.

Ive got the sealey and for most of what i do its way out of the range -too high.have just invested in a circa 2-24 nm/ft ilbs??(cant remember).anyway its more in the range of small engine work.

Same Huck.

It's surprising how tight the bolts have to be though, ie nowhere near as tight as you would think.

I have one of their tool kits and they do seem good. Think a mate had one if those cards too 😀
