Where's best to get a good quality but not too expensive torque wrench for caravan wheel tightening. Been meaning to get one for last 12 months but with trip away to continent 2 weeks away MUST get it sorted asap. Any ideas greatly received

I'd try ScrewFix.com, and use a combination of price and reviews to help you choose.

Make sure that the torque setting for the wheel nuts is covered by the torque wrench that you buy!

You might find one of these  [URL=http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_535921_langId_-1_categoryId_255216]wheel nut wrenches[/URL] handy.  Extends to help with the undoing, and the 2-size socket should fit a 1/2"-drive torque wrench as long as is has a 3"-4" extender to reach the fixing point halfway down the 2-ended socket.
