Also, it has to go up to about 90Nm

This Draper one has caught my eye. Seems great for £16?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-34570-Ratchet-Torque-Wrench/dp/B0001K9T2O/ref=pd_cp_diy_0

10-80Nm which should be fine for everything on the SV.

I've got that one, had it for quite a few years now. never had any problems.

Front sprocket on my bike needs more torque tho as this only goes up to 80NM (as you know)

I too have that particular Draper. Only had it for a few months but has been faultless so far.

Aldi have one for £13 on one of their special deals this Thursday. Will probably be rubbish for that price though...

HAHA I have one of those, my wrench didn't go high enough so I bought it from Lidl ages ago for doing up some fat nuts on my car.

It's actually not all that bad, uncalibrated though so feck knows how tight I am actually doing them.

You will not get a decent torque bar for under 40 quid.

It may torque to spec for a few jobs but will not last.
