[QUOTE="dapleb, post: 152584, member: 5329"] The auto express article is testing a Norbar (rebranded as Halfords) and Britool (rebranded as Kennedy) against the shiny silver torque wrench in various disguises (rebranded as Sealey, Draper, TriTorq etc etc). The TriTorq has the same internals as the shiny silvers but hidden in a triangular body!! Not even close to Norbar quality! I am amazed at the price they are suggesting for TriTorq! I really wouldn't suggest a shiny silver unless it has an Individual calibration certificate or you find a method of checking the calibration yourself. As Bill mentions sometimes its down to experience and feel. I have a vast array of torque wrenches but still do up items like oil filter housing (non Vincent) using feel. Other times it's essential and needs to be accurate (otherwise worse than useless). [/QUOTE]
