Torque wrench

Date: May 2008

Matt rates: Snap-On QD1RN25

Absolutely vital to DIY and pro mechanics alike, a torque wrench is a great safety aid. Tightening bolts to the correct tension can ensure parts don’t fall off or shear. “We prefer Newton metre (Nm) readings,” said Matt, “as that’s what’s commonly used in manuals.”

Buyer’s guide: Decent leverage and a non-slip grip are useful. Ones that offer both Nm and lb/ft settings are handy for home use.

Our pick: Draper 3001A (£23.99) from www.draper.co.uk
