Torque wrench beam type

[4Stroke]

Can anyone recommend a beam type torque wrench of 'good' quality?

All I can find is draper one's that seem to be of quite poor quality.

Kind regards

Any particular reason why you want a beam one?

Halfords professional torque wrenches are the click type and are very well made.

Lifetime garauntee. They don't always have them on display, you might need to ask the man at the spares counter.

If you are only going to buy one, then the halfords professional 3/8" drive one covers 6 to 44ft/lb. There is an odd BIG fastner on a bike that doesn't cover but it does for the vast majority.

I think what you'd gain in lack of need to calibrate, you'd loose in accuracy of scale. You can adjust the micrometer scale on the halfords one to within 0.5ft/lb.

I have a beam one cus somebody borrowed and didn't return my halfrauds click one...

I bought it however to use as a breaker bar as a breaker bar was £12 and the draper torque wrench was £9...

it does however torque up to spec fairly well though but can be hard to read when in a odd position (as its much longer than a normal torque wrench click type) , in that when I got hold of a click type torque wrench the bolts I had done up were about 0.5 - 1 out , though I tend to do things by feel these days , and I don't take the heads off too often.

Quickest way to wreck a torque wrench is to use it as a breaker bar!
