Sealey AK624

Best price: £28.75 Range: 27.1-203.5Nm

If you mainly work in imperial foot pounds, then this Sealey is well worth considering. Its scales are in easy steps of 10 for ft/lbs, while the Nm version uses a decimal point as can be seen in its metric range. It’s our pick of the budget tools thanks to its accuracy, although you can see where the money has been saved as the ratchet is coarse and stiff and the finish rough. Even so, for light use this will get the job done and for a keen price.
