    It's about a Bloke who fecked up his Sigma Slipper Clutch on his Track Bike by snapping a critical bolt with a cheap Torque Wrench which he later found out was miles off in it's calibration!



    .....................................just saying like, saving a few quid on Tools can cost U hundreds if sumat expensive snaps/fecks up...

    I checked my six month old , well used Aldi one on a calibration rig at work. It was better than my Norbar and a mate's Teng.
