This is a contributing factor to labour charges, peeps tend to forget they are not only getting the expertise and experience of a skilled mechanic but also the tools, equipment, vehicles and premises he needs to do a job, the same applies to most businesses. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Don't forget the Halfords Advanced stuff has a lifetime replacement warranty, although the fine print says torque wrenches need a current annual calibration to qualify.
Not used it for a torque wrench yet, but the warranty has been great on broken sockets. Just pop into a store and they replace it on the spot.

As this forum so frequently demonstrates I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Still the go to make of torque wrench in the truck game, boss used to moan we wrecked to many, until i worked out that each wrench was doing in the region of 400000 wheel nuts a year.
