Halfords wrenches - still Norbar?

[OMITN]

I need to get on and acquire a torque wrench (or two). I recall that Norbar used to make the torque wrenches for Halfords.

Does anyone know if that’s still true? Halfords is convenient to buy from but I’m keen to buy Norbar for a couple of reasons (British brand and also they’re from my hometown of Banbury).

Thanks!

Can't say for sure but I have 2 and they look like Norbar to me.

The Wera & Wurth wrenches are Norbar.

Ebay normally has a good supply of new Norbar for not much money.

Thanks both!

Wera wrenches are produced in Czechia in their own plant; Würth Zebra is produced (depending on age) either by Hazet or Te Wei/Taiwan (who also produce Facom 440).
