Hi all,

Question is am I better off getting the BBB BTL-73 or Park TW5 because of the smaller range (im guessing that makes them more precise) and sacrificing that I wont have anything to meansure 15nm to 28nm when my other torque wrench comes into play (I'm not sure how many DIY jobs on the bike would fall in that gap as i dont want to be buying another one!).

or getting a bit more of an all rounder like the Pedros Pro Torque or Park TW-2 even though im not sure about the design.

2-14nm - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/bbb-btl-73-torqueset-torque-spanner-set/
3-15nm - http://www.evanscycles.com/products/park/tw5-small-clicker-torque-wrench-ec018758
6-30nm - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/pedros-pro-torque-wrench-20/
0-70nm - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/park-tools-torque-wrench/

I'm a bit loathed to buy one but after overrighting the headset bearing (5-6nm) seems like the sensible thing to do as my next job requires just 7.5nm also.

Also any expiriences with any of the above? both good and bad or also ones I haven't mentioned? looking to keep it under £100 but ideally as cheap as possible with out scarificing too much in the way of lifespan and ease of use.

thanks,

Dan
