Torque wrench
Bulli:
you dont really need one for that kind of application, F - TIGHT is generally the rule. If you buy one for that end of the spectrum it probably wont go low enough to do things like head bolts etc.

Halfords, it was about £60, but worth it, realy nice tool....

Actually that's a point. Perley for doing up the tow bar I wouldn't worry about stripping an M16 thread like that, I stand on my spanners to get them tight.
a good torque wrench is a sound investment though and IIRC mine goes form 10 to 150 LB/FT so it covers the correct ranch for a towball. But f - tight LB/FT is near enough.

have a Halfords one its OK :)
Years ago purchased a bar and indicator one for £5 which measures the defection of bar. Recently found out its the only way to set the torque on a timing belt
Glad I kept it :D
