Draper1/2" Square Drive Ratchet Torque Wrench | Micrometre Reversible Hand Tool | 30Nm-210Nm Mechanics Car Tools | Professional Blow Mould Storage Case | 30357

I already own two smaller torque wrenches both in 3/8s drive for 3-22nM and 7-110nM, this is a nice addition to the tool box as now I can torque up larger bolts on my vehicle.It's affordable, the adjustment is easy to make - just remember to reset the torque setting to zero after you are finished as if you don't overtime the spring will loose it's strength and your torque wrench will be out of spec with no way to adjust it to be within spec as the mechanism is worn.I like the hard case which is useful for storing and transport.

This is a heavy duty adjustable torque bar, as used in professional garages. It comes in a nicely made plastic box that protects the precision tool, and provides storage for sockets and extension bar. The tool itself is nicely made and feels very substantial, first appearance is that it will last well in the less demanding DIY garage. It is well calibrated and easy to adjust - always remember to slacken off after use to protect the spring. None of the adjustments are particularly smooth, but reassuringly 'positive', I imagine that these will slacken off after a period of use. In essence this is just a large socket wrench, and as such, it is well made. Where the money really goes is in the calibration, and this was the cheapest calibrated wrench that I could find anywhere. Given the low cost, I suspect that it will not be as accurate as more expensive torque wrenches, but well within the realms of the average user who is only looking for something that gives a relative reading within the range loose - medium - tight! Having said that we bought this tool for use on the wheel nuts of at least three different vehicles, with torque settings ranging from 85 to 180, and I am confident that this tool will achieve this within acceptable tolerances.Highly recommended at the price

I’m giving it four stars purely because I’ve not used it yet. I own a Norbar 1/2” and Halfords (rebranded Norbar) 1/2” torque wrench so I’m not going to rush to grab this cheaper option when working on vehicles at home.This will live in the boot of the car for emergencies, so that the spare wheel can be torqued up to the correct spec without over or under tightening the wheel nuts.For the money it’s a good buy. Probably not going to be as accurate or durable as my others which cost over £100 each so you get what you pay for I guess.If you’re an occasional home mechanic, just building a toolkit, or only need it for a specific job, this will be a good investment.

Just dial in torque in NM and go! Some conversion needed if using imperial units. Does the job.

Worked well, easy to use, size was OK, I found it value for money.

The one you need

The item arrived and upon opening up the box I was delighted with the packaging, the wrench itself is supplied in a nice robust carry case so will be well protected for the average user. The quality of the torque wrench itself is fantastic and feels very durable and looks like it will last a lifetime provided it's looked after and not abused but that can be said about many things. I am no mechanic but more of an enthusiast when when it comes to cars and have done many modifications to my car and decided to go along and pick one of these up as I am starting to now work on my suspension and that's a major thing to work on and ensure all nuts and bolts are torqued correctly but also I have been through 4 sets of locking wheel nuts due to garages over torquing my nuts so now I take them off and put them on myself. Overall I highly recommend this product and assure you all that you won't be disappointed.

Easy to set and use..
