Torque wrenches

What is a torque wrench?

Torque wrenches allow you to measure and limit the amount of force applied to a fixing. Every nut and bolt in your car will have a torque value. It’s particularly important that you have a torque wrench to hand if you’re working on the engine, gearbox or any crucial components in the drivetrain or suspension system.

Why? Because if you fail to adequately torque a bolt, it could work its way loose. Or, if you tighten it too much, you could cause costly damage.

About torque wrenches from Halfords

Torque wrenches are more expensive than a standard wrench, but that’s because they’re calibrated to work to exacting standards. When you buy, remember you’re only getting the wrench, so you’ll need to invest in a set of sockets or drivers (if you don’t already have them).
