Aldi torque wrench

I have been a Caravan owner and user since 1978 and never needed to use the Torque Wrench which travels in the boot of my car. Perhaps I have been very fortunate, but I bet many like me will not see the need for one as expressed.

Does this mean that you've never thought it sensible and appropriate to check the torque settings on your caravan and car wheels - even after the wheels haved been off for servicing, tyre changes?

But there are many here that obsess over wheel bolt/nut torque ... I admit that I don't use my torque wrenches for either car or caravan but I've yet to lose a wheel. 😉

I often wonder if many understand what a torque wrench is for and how to use it, including so called mechanics / technicians .

 ... and how good/accurate is a cheapo torque wrench from Aldi/Lidl going to be? 😉

My experience of Aldi and especially Lidl tools is they are very good quality; only one item has been less than satisfactory.

You're not going to get a Norbar or Teng torque wrench for 17 quid 😉you get what you pay for in life 👍
