Cornish Rattler Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi guys I'm after a 3/4" drive torque wrench as my Snap on 1/2" drive torque wrench only goes upto 200 ft lbs and need something that will do higher torque settings and can only find 3/4 drive ones that will do, what do you think 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Big difference in quality between SnapOn and Neilson! Always used  Norbar myself, I have a Norbar 120101 for the big stuff but chinese stuff will be cheaper. For very occasional use it will probably serve? If you are planning regular use then I would go for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I personally wouldn't trust a Neilsen one to be any good. Have a look at the Halfords ones, I believe made by Norbar who are a big player in torque tools. There have been stories of people on here (and other places) using them daily and having them checked and they still produce the correct readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s spot on. Made by norbar - we them at work in the North Sea - they take a some abuse and still work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I notice in the details now they recommend Norbar service so that’s another hint they’re made by them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
