I also have the Halfords one and think it’s perfect for occasional use / DIY’er.Thanks guys. Going for the Halfords one. I’ve got their socket set and I’m happy with those.
I second that Teng are very good, have a micro 1/4” low torque and also a Sealey premier black 1/2” also very good.
I personally haven’t recalibrated, just looked after them and they aren’t used everyday like in a garage workshop…
Sorry not to high jack the thread but I’ve also been after a large high torque reversible (push through type bar) for a while to do my Testarossa single lug nuts (325ftlbs / 440nm), 3/4” - previously bought a large Teng but it didn’t do a true reverse torque action for the reverse right hand side threaded wheel nuts, so took it back to Screwfix…. Now looking at Industrial Norbar or similar, but quite pricey around £400 for something which will rarely get used. Any recommendations without going too crazy on price?
As the VW Beetle rear axle nuts don't need to be tightened (to 300ft/lbs) very often, I use an inexpensive method...I second that Teng are very good, have a micro 1/4” low torque and also a Sealey premier black 1/2” also very good.

Have you considered something like this? https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637202079/34sq-drive-digital-torque-adaptor-200-1000nm
You’d have to check it works in both directions, but being a transducer I’d imagine it does.
Then you can get a 3/4” cheater bar to lean on.
Ha… good shout and thanks for the tip as well. Just need to scare myself and dig out the scales!As the VW Beetle rear axle nuts don't need to be tightened (to 300ft/lbs) very often, I use an inexpensive method...
Check your body weight accurately, then calculate the required distance from the centre of the nut to a point on the (extended?) socket bar. Mark that point with a marking pen (next time you do this, your weight may have changed). With the socket & bar, and one hand either side of the 'mark', tighten the nut until you can lift both feet off the floor! Will work for L/H threads also. Cheap as...
