Wera is top brand and totally overpriced. Two ends of the stick, respectively. So, if wera is on great sale - no reason not to grab it. But if you will not use this tool every day for money making - no use to waste money.

Don't believe normal price 2 years later should be +40% as Amazon suggest but a good tool and a good price. I note the previous review recommends Norbar but omits to advise that an equivalent wrench is approx £900. I've now quite a collection of WERA tools, 3 torque wrenches, allen key sets screwdriver and micro-screwdriver sets, so far no regrets, not the cheapest but high quality.
Hassann15/04/2022 19:35Wonder if these are actually better than the Halfords Advanced versions?

Snap On. And they make torque wrenches you'll buy from the van. So I'm not sure if the comment is valid. I have a halfords one and it's regularly checked and calibrated. And it's always perfect. Can't say the same for Sealey, Clarke and all those similar ones.

I've tried two email addresses for them and I've have had no reply for 2 weeks now.It's certainly making me question buying something from them again

And, dude, I know the tools I have in my 1.8-2m toolbox. I would bet you have not hold tools I am speaking in your hands. Also, I would bet you have not used Snap On old tools. Only thing you are saing is "Halfords are Norbar". Maybe it is true, but have you used torque wrench at all? I am using Tekton torque wrench and 20£ torque wrench from bike shop - for me these fiting fine.

Wheel nuts most likely and when I've done the break pads and calipers I've done them up as tight as possible. Like you say this one is truck territory or maybe breaks on some cars but at 300nm anyway I'd just tighten them as much as I can by hand! I've got a job that may get done myself and that's my cambelt and water pump but the torque for those bolts is about 30nm or 25nm etc so this one is super overkill!For my wheels I may just get a cheapo torque wrench as I'd most likely do them to 110nm and then just a touch more to be safe! I doubt it makes much difference when you've got mechanics blasting them in with air guns!
