Torque Wrench Recommendations

I've been looking for a decently made but reasonably priced low-range torque wrench and wondered whether anyone had any particular recommendations. Annoyingly I lost a Norbar SL0 a couple of years back and I'm reluctant to spend as much for something which won't get used too often, Sealey do one which seems to fit the bill with a rang of 2-24 NM, anyone got any thoughts?
Cheers, Jon.

    i've got the sealey (STW1012) wrench and it looks well made and has worked well so far, about £30 from toolshopdirect :)

    Screwfix do a Teng one, 5 - 25Nm for £ 39.99 (1/4" drive). Teng tools are genrally pretty good, I've got this wrench myself but not used it yet.

    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result

    I'd buy another SL0!

    I had a clarke torque wrench once which nearly cost me the block on a lotus engine (very soft alloy). At which point it made a sizeable dent in the garage wall and I went and bought another Norbar!

    I now have two Norbar wrenches, the older one has been abused for 20 years and is still accurate and reliable.
