TBH I don't rate those much. Prefer using torque wrench so I don't round off the edges.

Suppose ?1.99 is better than ?59.99 though

how does a torque wrench stop you rounding off bolts? surely if it fits correctly it shouldnt matter...?

or am I missing something?

You don't overtighten the bolt with a torque wrench, so when you come to take it off, just flip it around and apply same pressure in the opposite direction.

Comes off without any effort at all

he is correct if your useing the right side socket then you wont round off the edges but you can sher the head off the bolt very easly

What would be the use of using a Torque wrench over tighten & shear a bolt, the idea is to set the torque wrench to the correct torque setting for the bolt, so that you do not over tighten a bolt & damage it.

on the Torque Wrench front.

Only problem is that they're expensive
