Now I'm doing more Workshop stuff to my bike , I 've decided to add a Torque Wrench to my kit
So basicly I'm looking for recommendations and advice and as i would be tighting pedals with it , it needs to work on right handed and left handed threads

Any help will be great , Thanks Ian

    No need for a torque wrench for pedals, just tight, not FT, not nipped, tight. Precession will tighten them further if needed.
