This wrench spans the gap between the Halfords and Norbar wrenches tested, with a price midway between them. Its 32-position reversible ratchet is an improvement over the Halfords but not in the same league as the Norbar. The set-in-position drive measures torque clockwise and it has Nm and lb ft scales and a window for each. Setting the torque is tricky because of graduations rising in intervals of five.

Price £62.
