    I've got a Halfords Pro one. Seems to work well and the adjuster's nice and easy.

    +1 on the Halfords advanced torque wrenches with trade card. Once heard they are made by norbar anyway just branded up differently.

    Great response, guys.

    Now poor Keith is so flustered trying to make a decision. I think he might be looking at this company:

    I bought a laser one fron toolstation.
    It is important to know what units the wrench display is calibrated on. I prefer N/m.

    Also the more expensive onces come with calibration certificate
