Torque wrench

[Pothole]

What am I looking for? The two main things I want it for are 20Nm and 110Nm. For 1/2 drive sockets, ideally.

Any brands to avoid?

ETA: Might be 3/8 drive. I'll check and come back.

If you just want to use one then I'm nearby with some superb ones. All you need to look for is an easily read scale.

Very kind of you but I think I'll need them fairly often. I'll check the drive size and use your advice.

Thanks, again.

Great responses, thanks everyone!

Thoughts on this one?

Is that the old 'what is the torque needed?'. 'Tighten till it shears, then back-off half a turn theory?'

Yeah - I'm learning though...

Edit: I was surprised that the torque range for these was only 18-28 Nm, given that these are the bolts that tighten the clamps that hold the front forks in the yoke. I've done em up to 23 Nm, halfway through the range, is that a sensible approach?

That's one of the jobs I need a wrench for, Apparently mine need 21Nm
