Reviews may not necessarily mean it has been purchased, however this item review is based on experience of being used by the author

This saved time and of course; time is money. Even if it is down to just a hobby these can make one's life a little easier.

No need to remind people concerning quality and reliability, however, 'Buy British' where possible.

Note: There are two types of torque Wrench - Calibrated and un-calibrated, choose carefully and also check the NM guage measurement range you require as they vary : eg. 1/4'' 2-24Nm or 5-25Nm...
3/8'' 5-25Nm, 7-112Nm 8-60Nm, 10-80Nm, 19-110Nm, 20-110Nm...
1/2'' 27-204Nm,28-210Nm, 30-210Nm, 40-200Nm, 40-220Nm 42-210Nm,

The calibrated Torque Wrenches are more expensive and should be first choice ideally...however uncalibrated Torque Wrenches are oK for general non-precise maintenance..your money, your choice...

Note: One recommends reading the diary first and then linking to workshop notes to maintain the continuity of the theme...

Check calibration with one calibrated torque wrench if have more than one torque wrench and use for calculation +/- especially if living on a shoestring...

Operating Instructions:
1. Hold the wrench with the appropriate scale facing you and unlock the handle by rotating the knurled locking screw anticlockwise.
2. Rotate the handle until the '0' mark aligns with the closest value below the torque required that is marked on the shaft.
3. To set to the exact value, rotate the handle slowly clockwise, observing the handle markings. The torque settings is calculated by adding the numbers marked on the shaft and on the handle (e.g.: If the shaft value is 112Nm and the handle is rotated until the '6' is aligned with the centre line, the torque setting is118Nm).
4. Locock the torque setting by rotating the knurled screw clockwise until finger tight.

Tightening and Fixing:
5. Install the correct socket or attachment to the square drive and apply to fixing. Tighten fixing slowly until you feel/hear the wrench 'click'. Stop
     tightening at this point and release. The wrench will automatically reset for the next use.

Storage:
6. When the wrench is not in use, rotate the handle to the lowest torque setting, do not rotate handle below lowest setting.
7. The tool is a precision measuring instrument, rough handling may damage the tool and effect the accuracy.
8. If the wrench has not been used for some time, operate it several times at a low torque setting. This permits the internal lubricant to recoat all working
     parts.
9. Store the wrench in its case in a dry place to avoid any corrosion

Maintenance:
10. The torque wrench has been callobrated before leaving the factory.
11. This is a precision measuring instrument, calibration and servicing must be performed regularly to ensure accuracy.
      Servicing and calibration is the responsibility of the user and accuratcy is not part of the guarantee of the product.
12. Clean wrench using a soft brush/cloth. Do not allow wrench to get wet, or use any kind of cleaning fluid.
