Torque wrenches

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. Fail to torque a bolt enough, and it could work its way loose. Tighten it too much, and you could cause expensive damage.

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).
