Torque wrench recommendations 600nm

[ffc]

I need a 600nm Torque wrench for the wheels on my 911. Any recommendations?

I have the older Sealey adaptor STW292 that I used for the rear axle bolts on another car but it only goes to 500nm and I think I would rather use a single unit torque wrench for simplicity.

600nm? Wow, I have never seen a wheel bolt that needs more than 180nm. Is this those fancy motorsport single centre nut jobbies?

Twelve foot scaffold pole and a fat bloke should do it.

Quick google found this.

we use one like this to check the race car centre locks, they bend in the middle when the torque is reached, and can do left and right threads

Might be a tad pricey, but this is PH.

Not an impact wrench, a battery torque wrench. Good for up to 1355Nm

The Norbar is not only a better quality piece of kit but, importantly, your requirement for 600Nm lies comfortably near the middle of its working range, not at an extreme.

British made too.

the ones we use get checked regularly, and very rarely need adjustment, so for home use, as long as reset to zero every time after use, then will probably outlast you.

Yes it's a 997.2 GT3. The hub nut I mentioned was on a 964. I like the look of the centrelocks but normal wheel jobs could be a PITA!

Thanks all. I just ordered the Norbar as I like the split design and it wasn't much more than the Sealey. I couldn't do the maths for the 12 foot pole.

As long as you don’t ever drop it.

I tend to store mine set at the lowest marked number.

you want to fully unload the spring if you can so the lower the better, you can feel when the tension is all gone as you unwind it.

You shouldn’t fully unload a torque wrench. Reasons stayed here https://www.norbar.com/News-Events/Blog/ArticleID/...
