Halfords 200139

It’s gone up by £5 since our last test, but this is still great value.

Overall Auto Express rating

5.0

Best price: £79.99 Range: 40-200Nm

It’s gone up by £5 since our last test, but this is still great value. It was topped only by the more expensive Norbar for accuracy, yet it’s ease of use that really makes this a winner. Simple-to-read metric and imperial scales are displayed behind a window and are in logical increments, so setting is a breeze. The push through drive isn’t as convenient as a lever to change direction, but it does mean it can measure in both directions.
