Matt_182 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm currently looking to buy a new torque wrench that'll be suitable for most jobs on the 350Z. I've not used one for a while however I've got a few jobs lined up that involved hub nuts and brakes so want to make sure it's spot on. I've been looking at something like this - http://www.screwfix.com/p/reversible-torque-wrench/18289 and wondered if this would cover most torque settings on the Z?

RJF Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That's the one I have, used it for many suspension and engine swaps alike! Does what I says on the tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_182 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Cheers all, I'll pick one up this weekend before I start any other jobs. Do we have a thread that contains torque settings for various parts on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I also have one Its a Snap on One, but anyone that goes up to 150ft lbs is fine. That's a very good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So long as it's in the range you want, and calibrated regular, any will do the job. I have two Norbar wrenches I got off eBay. Perfect for any job I ever need them for and cost me peanuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect for any job I ever need them for and cost me peanuts. I have the same,.....formerly bought from "POLO Bike shop" in Germany. I own it since 1989,...regularly calibrated/checked by a mate who works for "Lufthansa" and did its job as i need it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_182 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I take it a local engineering company can calibrate for a few £'s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just bought this one as it came out 2nd in an Auto Express group test http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0001K9S52/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebo-z Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've got most of my tools from Lidl - they never failed me. And for that price it's tricky to find similar quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ive got a draper one ive had for years and a norbar one, both are good although I seem to prefer the norbar one atm. I now need one which can do lower torque settings, so am eyeing up the halfords professional ones.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
