Go for half inch drive. Using a torque wrench on anything smaller than 3/8" size sockets is pretty pointless. Your hand is your friend there.

Difficult to tell the two apart. I have one just like that by Draper same blue box etc.I paid £20 for it . Does the back wheel nut up on the 996 at 172nm and as we no, that tighter than a duck's ar8e. Better to get a long shifting bar to undue it first if its been tightened with a power /air tool. 4D

Felix, The bikes look ace Love the colour scheme.

Thanks for your help with the mock-ups, Pete. Have a look in the race section for more pics.

Just a pointer the lower the torque range the more expensive they are as the more accurate they have to be, cheap low range torque range wrenches tend to be less accurate. If you do by a low range one don’t leave the wrench set as this can effect its accuracy. Mines by a company called Norbar and is actually made in England!
