For our money, the Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza Torque Wrench is the best-looking option around. It’s elegant to look at and feels great in the hand, with a knurled handle to ensure you don't lose your grip. Its slimline figure also means that it can reach those tucked-away bolts.

Despite its slender appearance, this is a high-quality and durable tool. It’s surprisingly weighty, which I kinda like in a tool as it suggests that it's up for the job - and I had no complaints throughout our testing. You set the torque - between 2-16Nm - with a winding mechanism at the end of the handle. I found it easy to use and accurate, too.

It’s offered with or without a set of bits. I'd suggest that if you’re spending this amount of money on a torque wrench, you might as well go all in, and I don't think you’ll be disappointed.
