With the help of Draper Tool’s quality assurance department, we assessed accuracy based on the BS EN ISO 6789 standard which takes readings at 20, 60 and 100 per cent of the tool’s range. This attachment makes working out angles a lot easier by slotting underneath the ratchet handle of a torque wrench to give you precise adjustability. Professional options from the Sealey Professional line and Norbar are possibly the most accurate examples available but may be a little overkill unless you’re doing some serious wrenching.This chrome vanadium wrench from Silverline features a reversible head, sensitive, adjustable torque settings, and knurled handle. This is the first of the tools that look like they’re all from the same factory, but it proved to be among the most accurate, only pipped by the Clarke. The push-through drive means it can work in both directions, and it has a very easy-to-use setting window. The long arm with a soft-grip handle and the tool’s torque range make it a beast for changing wheels – on both cars and motorcycles. Torque isn't just the figure you struggled to understand as a child but knew more was better in a car, it's also something that every nut and bolt in your car will have a predetermined figure for to keep it correctly in place.

Torque is a force applied at a radial distance and is a measure of how tightly you do up a bolt or fixing, and while screws may not need an accurate measure of torque application, most nuts and bolts do. If you’re planning on doing any task like this you must use a torque wrench so you don’t do some serious damage to your car as you rebuild it. We also looked at ease of use, whether the wrench could measure in both directions and looked for metric and imperial scales. Despite its age, it was the most accurate in the tests, easily inside the four per cent tolerance and just one per cent out at the 60 per cent measure.You're grandad probably owned a torque wrench like this, and while they may look old and outdated, they're still an excellent option for working on your car.
