Need advice about torque wrench as I forgot about it on my visit.

Can any body please guide me which brands are available and the price wrench.

Are TEKTON or NEIKO brands availble as displayed on amazon:

Both are made in Taiwan. Would they be available in locally.

torque ratchet is a precision item and usually the cheaper ones are dodgy, get a somewhat good one and make sure it will service all your torque requirements, e.g. I have 3 of them, one that is low torque (con rod cap bolts, timing cases, spark plugs etc) then a larger one for heavy work. (both click type)

the third one is a tiny scale one that I only used for testing steering boxes and also checking differential pinions or basically anything that has a drag setting

you would need something like a small one - try finding an old torqometer. However nowadays you can also buy a digital torque adapter that makes any ratchet/breaker bar a torque ratchet (torque wrench) - they are pretty accurate. a cheap one is about USD 40/-

I am just a hobbyist and trying to maintain my car and motorcycle myself and an occasional user. Torqometer seems quite difficult to find. I have read that the needle ones give better accuracy as they don't need calibration like the click type, though they are difficult to handle and see the panel while use.

Digital torque adapter seems quite bulky.

I have worked out my requirements and have decided to get two of them. one is of 1/4 inch drive with inch-pound units and very less force and the other is needle type having 0 -600 lbs-ft capacity. Both will cost combined cost of 40$

Can you please guide is NEIKO or TEKTON brand available in Pakistan. On amazon the TEKTON torque wrenches are no 1 seller and have very good reviews.

tekton are chinese tools but with somewhat passable quality. They are perfectly usable on light duty application like yours. I dont know about their torque ratchet (wrench) quality or calibration as I have never used them. However they seem to the same shape as sold by other vendors.
