I use a Halfords one for wheel torques and I have two different snap on wrenches for engine building.  Get a halfords trade card and then tools are cheaper.

i am not in the trade though

Im sure something could be knocked up showing that you do  :wink:

Does save quite a few quid here and there.

How much discount do Halford's offer for  Trade? Or does it vary depending on what you are buying?

I got one of these not long ago..

Screwfix reversible torque wrench

and one of these..

Nylon covered socket

Both do the job of wheel fitting/removal fine! :happy2:





Reviving an old thread but would these 2 items be ok for the wheel nuts on the golf?
