I can vouch for this, a great cheap tool that's lasted me 2 years

i got one for £13 from screwfix a while back, not used it that much but done a few headgaskets (not even a k-series in sight ;D ) and it still worked last time, i think  |

Same one as the £15 one in Argos. Not the most reliable thing in world, but they make good hammers.

I got a Laser one a couple of months ago. I don't actually think this one would cover the K-series head bolts (22nm I think?), so sorry about that reference. I don't use it often, but it's essential for engine work.

Looks good, it'd be interesting to see how accurate one is. Anyone up for testing one?

We could test it against other known torque wrenches at a largish met.

Wasn't there a thread on here a while ago for testing these, some sort of ghetto pulley system?
