    I used to work for Brunel Metrology in Radstock - In my experience Torque Wrenches only go out of specification if they are preloaded (i.e you tighten a spring to set the torque) and this is left wound on.

    Some cheap ones are often 5-10% off from new, but that's about the worst case scenario - that would probably fail the British Standard for accuracy, but is more than adequate in a mechanical maintenance setting even for tightening cylinder heads.

    Cheers guys,

    Phoned that place Daddy Cool, they were a no go, despite what it said, go figure!!!
    Nearest place looks like Gloucester.

    Hope you are right pilninggas, as i ain't trekking up to Gloucester, i think it was 80 quid in Halfrauds and only goes to 60nm so not really cheap.
