OK most torque wrench suppliers list them in NM & not lb/ft? Totally lost as to what I should buy. I don't want a digital one either. I get the impression that the hub is torqued to 150lb/ft - 200lb/ft on a 1989 mini, am I right? What is that in NM? Thanks for your replies to my other thread.

Easy enough to convert anything to any thing else. Finding s reasonably price torque wrench that will torque the front hub nuts up fully will be a challenge. Both of mine don't go high enough

I think I have finally found one. Thanks for all your help

The Norbar I have is calibrated in both NW & lb/ft. The last group test I read the Halfords Professional beat everything else in terms of accuracy and that included the Teng and Norbars on test. Also it was cheaper than they were, so worth checking out.

My Draper has Nm and lb/ft (on the reverse of the handle)
