Torque Wrench
Just contemplating buying a torque wrench, and seen a couple in Hellfrauds but what is the most useful range? They do three - 8 to 60 Nm, 40 to 200 Nm, and a premium one that does 60 to 300 Nm.
Which one is going to be most useful? Do I need 300Nm and would the low range be an advantage? Your opinions welcomed please.

Serious post time.
I have a couple of wrenches. First one I bought was 60 to 300 Nm wrench and I found that it wasn't much good for most of the things I wanted it for ....... so I recently bought another whith a much lower range.
I now buy most things like this from screwfix.com ..... so much cheaper than Halfords.
