Torque wrench/wheel brace

[marc vectra sri]

Need to get my self one of these as could do with one for when I change the discs. Would I be better getting 1/4 drive or 1/2 drive wrench and some adaptors

no choice at all 1/2" every time

Thought as much do I buy a draper or silverline

Don't confuse torque wrenches with wheel braces - torque wrenches are only for doing up a bolt to the specified torque - they're NOT for undoing tight bolts/wheel nuts.

I know. I meant I was going to buy both as the wheel brace I got with the car is bobbins. I meant I was getting a Wheel brace for removing the nuts and a torque wrench to tighten them to the correct torque setting

My torque wrench works either way round, just like a standard rachet. As it's quite a long one, you can use it as a breaker bar to undo stubborn nuts/bolts.

Same as mine mate mine also has an extra attachment just in case a bit more force is needed lol
