As above really. I've already got a 42-210nm torque wrench from Laser but I need to fill that <42nm gap with a lower-range torque wrench, to be used for things like spark plugs, manifolds, gaskets etc. Obviously with fasteners in these areas requiring a bit more care when tightening, I'd like to make the right choice, so:

Has anybody any recommendations for torque wrenches that are good quality, but not overly expensive? I've had my eye on Draper torque wrenches.

Thanks.

NB: If I DIY'd more often than once every month or two, I'd justify the extra expense of a Halfords torque wrench!

Someone once gave me a draper wrench, it had only been used once and it didn't work properly so id never touch them again.
Id invest in the Halfords one which is possibly made by Norbar, you don't get much better for the money.
Teng may be another worth considering but not cheap either, you generally get what you pay for.
That’s a great help, thanks.
