Over the years, Halfords has used leading tool makers to produce reliable torque wrenches. This holds true for this British-made model. It is superbly accurate and a doddle to set thanks to professional-style, dedicated windows for the Nm and lb ft scales. The 24-position ratchet is non-reversible, but press the push-through drive and turn the tool around to measure torque in the opposite direction.

Price £59.99.
