    What torque wrench?

    Need a tourque wrench thats ideally suited for working around clios, but i need summit that i can get a fair bit of leverage on and it needs to be on a 1/2 inch drive.

    Any recommendations?

    P.S

    Its gonna be me b'day pressie from the family so dont be stingy on budgets, lol

    Dont like halfords tools mate, the chrome finish they put on their stuff is not too good IMO, seemed to come of way too easy on my halfords pro spanner set.

    Have to say my tendancies are leaning towards snap-on tools.
