You're right, good tools are expensive but they'll last your lifetime.

Unlikely to be taken off again? Are you sure? I've been proved wrong after making that assumption. And for just two nuts? Again, there will be other jobs for which you'll be glad you've got a high capacity 3/4 in. drive torque wrench.

Finally, compare the cost of the best tool with garage labour charges for the same job. Now is it "big bucks"?

Edit: Here you go, this is the best deal I could find: £214 including vat, free delivery.

A beautiful tool and with UK customer service too. I have one from the same range.
