Looking to buy a torque wrench... what spec should I be looking at? Thanks.

Just be aware, as with all torque wrenches, they should always be stored unwound to their minimum torque rating (but not beyond) and should never be wound to over their maximum as this can stress the springs in the mechanism and upset the calibration.
Interestingly, I've just got home and looked at my really big Norbar. It's not a 450Nm max, but 1000Nm, and it's not an inch drive but a 3/4. Shows how long it's been since I needed to use it (it's spent the last two years hanging above the garage door), but it's minimum torque setting is 300Nm - it's a monster:

Don't really know why I keep it around, as I almost never need to use it. The driveshaft nuts (60mm) on my motorhome are about the only thing I've ever used it for I think.
You dirty bugger Stuart.Sounds as though you have a WHOPPER there RR.. bet your Mrs loves that..ouch !. haha...
Can you recommend what a socket (single or set) that includes a 34mm deep enough for the rear wheel nut?
Haha. It was your description there... I couldnt resist it.. lolYou dirty bugger Stuart.
(but yeah, she does like my whopper)
I'm worried about getting one with sufficient depth, could you provide a link to the one you got?I got mine at Halfords .
