Cyclists have become keen customers for Norbar’s TruTorque™ TT20 torque wrenches, available through Amazon.co.uk.
Norbar’s Sales & Marketing Director Philip Brodey, a cycling enthusiast himself, said that the TruTorque™ TT20 is a ‘must have’ wrench for the cyclist. “Having a torque range from 1 to 20 N.m it covers the majority of safely critical fasteners on the bike. In fact, just about the only bolts that it will not do are the crank bolts. Check the manual, but depending on the bike you will need around 40 to 50N.m for these components. Our suggestion would be to go for a TruTorque™ TT150 in addition to the TT20 and you will be able to check your car wheel nuts as well! More»

More recently, in the case of Ford v Corus at Cardiff County Court, the judge found in favour of the plaintiff, stating that it was the employer's duty to give warnings and take steps to reduce vibration. In the case of tightening tools, such legal action can be avoided argues Philip Brodey of Norbar Torque Tools. More»
