Bought the one that won this test from my local factors for £18.99, top notch, i know how tight to do the wheel bolts and such now...
10/10, considering price and the fact that it looks much more expensive, could get away with putting it on ebay for 30 notes i reckon... |

Draper 3001A
"If you were to look for the blueprint of a torque wrench, the Draper is it. It's as conventional as you can get, with a knurled adjuster and a simple locking device. It performed best on the Nm scale, which was sensibly graduated in tenths, although that made lb/ft a bit tricky to select. Near-perfect accuracy combined with a great price mean it's our Best Buy." |

similar.
there are also swinging needle wrenches the needle swings and you read the gauge to see the torque |

main prob with the click one sis at low torque settings its a light click, at higher ones its very easy to tell its click, the wrench gives and a loud click is heard and felt, low settings can be tricky in noisy environments |

the click on mine is too quiet, cant hear the bloody thing if there is a sound any louder than a grasshopper at 20 paces . .
i want one that screams at me 'ooooo baby you're tight' when its at the correct torque (or one that has a click i can bloody well hear) |

on mine you can easily feel when it's reached the correct torque because of the way it clicks, even if it is a noisy environment. |
