If you can torque something to a pretty high value and try to undo it with this thing I'm curious to know a real torque value and not a supposed one.
I know I've been able to undo roughly 700Nm with mine but it's always good to have more data.
I can see your case is different than mine

Ordered one of these, not sure I need it but looks to be cheap - price normally around £110 everywhere else, if it’s no good it can go back!

My main accessory for my clamp meter is a two-foot extension cord with the wires separated. Very handy.

Still hopefully waiting for my local Lidl to stock the Knipex type pliers.

Get the real ones you'll never regret the money spent.
Thrust me knipex is the best pliers manufacturer, you'll never find something comparable and if so it would be rebranded stuff produced by knipex (würth, mecanocar, 3M etc...)
I have side cutters, lineman's, and cobra pliers they are just great.
Side cutters cut as thin stuff as an hair and they cut zip ties flush leaving less than 1mm of excess (I'm not able to explain better)
Cobras don't slip whatever load you apply to them even on hardened steel once the they bite.
Lineman's are really smooth and ergonomic, all of them really

After failing to buy a norbar one from a forum member because of shipping and expensive custom duties which raised the finished price enough to be almost the brand new price from a retailer locally...
Thanks Brexit.
I've got this GEDORE RAHSOL 1:5 1700Nm torque multiplier
1/2 inch input 3/4 output.
No reaction bars but not that big of a problem really I can make them out of a car axel

Just looking at this thread and thinking there'll be lots of happy Chinese chappies this Christmas. Fuelling their industrial military complex as we all are!
I wonder what kit they use in say their critical infrastructure & defence if they have their own term for "Chinesium monkey metal"?
Going to ask my mate who's worked out there.

Amazons, £50 Fakita grinder. I shall review after giving it a proper test.

Interesting thought, I imagine that the military QC is of a different order to the general retail that we see. I know that some brands who manufacture in China put dedicated QC people in the factories.

You are right, and I haven't regretted buying the Knipex Pliers I have, even though they cost me £45.oo Pounds. I've never had a problem with Lidl tools, so I am confident the Knipex type they offer should be a good value for money.

A close call because otherwise it would not have been Friday 13
Last job of the day the customer was there, we were in a hurry.
Job was a 5 cm weld on an aluminum swing arm.
Burned with the torch, wire wheeling with the angle grinder.
Didn't paid attention the vice got loose, workpiece moved kickback, the grinder took off my hands even if held it with both hands very firmly.
The Jeans got wound on the spindle stopping the grinder.
Time to realize, very calmly shut off the switch.
Removed the phone from the patch.
Disconnected the power cord.
Removed the grinder.
Check the leg no bleeding no holes on the trousers beneath the jeans.
Now it hurts a little because it was practically like a tourniquet on my leg.
Probably the phone saved the situation.
Watch out while using grinders.

This and the Performance 20V impact drivers came in today but the driver was sold out by the time I got there. They also said another nearby store was sold out
Got one in Armagh this morning they have several left
Bakery stuff is the alibi
