For small values I have the Sealey 1/4" . For higher torque settings like rear wheel spindle nut I've got an old faithful Norbar 1/2" torque wrench. I've had it since the seventies... it might need calibrating!
I can recommend the Morgan Carbtune carb balancer, reliable and accurate. 👍
Rozabikes Tim:
This seems to cover the ranges? Is it too wide a coverage to be accurate? Anybody have one?

Those 3 are normaly done to BT.

I don't anticipate ever replacing pistons myself but I would be ok replacing gaskets in the head. I also would not be touching gear boxes, so with that in mind, what range may I need?

Like yourself, I don't (hopefully!) have any ambition to go any further beyond head and barrels. One of my favourite online suppliers for tools etc., is White Rose Tools in Yorkshire. Have virtually kitted out my garage using them, very quick service and reasonable prices. My personal choice of torque wrenches from them was a 1/4dr and 3/8dr Blue Spot, the 1/4dr being on offer at the moment! Have fun. Mike.
Bryanj:
The one you listed should be ok and Sealey is a reasonable mid range supplier

Cheers Bryan.
