^ well, it clicks, not spins. I could imagine that being quite dangerous!
Halfords pro torque wrenches are great and have a lifetime guarantee (like all Halfords Pro tools, which I think are excellent mid-range tools). Not sure about long-term accuracy though as IIRC they don't do a calibrating service.
But that's not much of an issue unless you're a professional mechanic - and if you are, I'd go with a Snap-On one like mine, as they do calibrating to make sure it's always accurate
The smaller ones with ranges suitable for bikes are around £60 IIRC (with larger ones going for up to a grand :O) which is pretty expensive like all Snap On stuff, but you are getting the absolute best. Halfords ones are half the price.
