Hi guys was just wondering what torque wrench you guys use for the centerlock wheels. Went out and bought a brand new 3/4 inch one for this and learned it only torques up one way which is useless for the wheels on the left side. So have to go find a different one. Thanks

I bought a Sealy 3/4 inch and discovered the same thing. If yours is the same then you need to remove two screws in the black plate at the head, and reverse the drive - obvious once you open it.
I think Halfords only do a 1/2 inch? which is no good for the new 240ftlbs required.
I wasn't able to find a reversable 3/4 inch, so might end up buying another cheap Sealy and have one for left, one for right.
Thats the one i bought as well thought of doing that but unscrewing every time what a pain in the ass i found a beta one that you push through for about 140 quid or there is the option like you said have 2

right i bought the Sealey AK628 3/4 then found out it was only one way. Then researched into finding one that torques up both ways the next one i found that looked good and did the job without dropping silly money was the Beta 3/4 push through but thats around £140+. so as someone else mentioned i already had the Sealey one so im going to buy another and just reverse one of them so have one for each side price wise they came out the same roughly as the Beta one. But i end up with 2 incase one packs up.
