Best low range torque wrench

Hi, any thoughts for a small, reasonably accurate and reasonably priced one for tightening 5-30NM bolts?

Thanks

I quite fancy one myself.
Have you looked at amazon? Loads on there with reviews. Previously..

The Halfords Pro Range is excellent. I have two of their wrenches that IIRC take me through 5 - 200nm.
Both wrenches are nice things to use and very easy to read. They come with a lifetime guarantee to IIRC.

Had a look In Hfords Arkle. Those ones do look good but need a smaller more petite length one.

Looked on Amazon Contraband but mixed reviews on some and hoped to buy one to use this weekend as opposed to postal.

Thanks.

I think Machine Mart have a decent selection. Some of the guys on another forum I visit use Sealey wrenches and Like them.

I'm not really a big fan of Halfords, but they are local and with the pro range having a lifetime guarantee I get peace of mind.
I somehow broke the tip of a Pozi/Phillps from my socket set and they just changed it with no questions asked.

It gets good reviews and for £23.98, having used it, this certainly is a decent little torque wrench for the money

Also 140nm for 2002-2005 L322. As a point of interest it is the same for the Discovery D2. John
