Halfords Torque Wrench

[SamB123]

Recently purchased a Halfords Torque Wrench 40-200Nm version

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...egoryId=318448&productId=180255&storeId=10001

Does anyone know the correct wheel bolt torque figures for my clio 182? standard 16" wheels with tpi polarised bolts.



and has anyone had any experience with these wrenches? are they actually accurate?
cheers

105nm iirc.

One click then stop. Unload after use.

I've not used one but people seem to rate Halfords tools in general.

If you know anyone who works in a garage see if they can get the calibration guy to check it for you?

Made by norbar,
good quality torque wrenches for the money.
I Torque wheel bolts to 85 ft/lb

 

[SamB123]

knuckles said 105nm
and bash 85ft lbs is roughly 115nm

I had it in my head before that 110nm all round will be ok I just wanted to check.

I've spent 10 years going by the phrase (f**king tight) and never had wheel bolt/nut problems before haha

I've got the 60-300Nm one and it seems decent enough.

 

[Jamie86]

They are great plenty of race teams use them.

110nm all round for wheels

Have a quick look through the guides section on here mate. You'll come across a thread with torque settings for pretty much every bolt on the Clio :up:

Great torque wrenches. I have the bigger one and its great. Keep the tube it comes in for storage.

Just sent mine off for calibration last week - Failed - under reading and there is no adjustment

Will drop it off at halfords this week

Where do you send these off for calibration?

 

[marinemackay2003]

I do it through work, but I imagine you could send it back to halfords

There are a fair few companies online that can do it for you

Costco offered to do mine before when they said about retorquing after 50 miles. But I didn't have it with me and constantly only remember once I'm already there.

Great wrench, I've had mine years and not lost a wheel. Definitely keep the tube..you can store different sockets in it too :up:

 

[l33th3tr33]

had mine for nearly 10 years, brilliant bit of kit.

Speak to your local trading standards, if they can't do it for you (weights and measures if they're still called that) they will put you in touch with someone who can.

I know kinda changing subject ive got a sykes pickavant one cost £150 and watched then calibrate it every time and been perfect. For the past 4 years it has never missed a beat

 

[Knuckles]

I'd quite like to have mine calibrated. I might see if I can sneak it in at work. I don't know how it'll go down as it'll be the only one on file. I might tell quality it's a micrometer or something

 

[Mertin]

Great wrench and as said, tube is great for storage. Fit the wheel socket, breaker bar and the torque wrench inside it. Perfect combo to have. Well, before I got an 18v impact gun

What's the best all rounder to buy? They are only listing the 8-60nm currently but I'm sure they did more with different ranges. What's the best all rounder to get for the torques you'd come across on a Clio?
