Which is the better 3/8” torque wrench for me... range of 10-80Nm, or one with range of 27-108Nm?

I want a 3/8” torque wrench for doing stuff on my car....

Which do you think would be most versatile for most of my auto needs?

(I know little about auto mechanics but have been doing some of the easier jobs so far.... and maybe more in the future, excluding timing belt - so am looking for which torque wrench range might offer the best option for most of the easier jobs I might encounter)

The one with range of 10-80Nm:

Or the one with range of 27-108Nm?

I realize that neither is an uber precision style Teng, Snap-On ect... cause I just can't afford it tbh.

Thanks

Hi Retardboy. I suggest you go for a 1/2" drive instead. If you intend doing more ambitious stuff like cylinder heads, a 3/8" drive is really not up to the job. Check out www.machinemart.co.uk. They do a 1/2" drive with a range of 28-210Nm for around the £15 mark. It comes with adaptors for use with 3/8" & 1/4" sockets as a bonus. Cheers!
