Norbar
PartsForMachines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller for Norbar, covering Norbar torque wrenches, torque multipliers and torque measurement equipment for UK workshops, fleet engineers and industrial users. The catalogue is indexed by torque range and drive size, because that is how torque tooling is bought: the fastener specification sets the range, and the wrench should sit comfortably inside it rather than at its limits.Professional torque wrenches cover the workshop spans from small-fastener precision up through the 3/4 and 1-inch drive ranges used on commercial vehicle, agricultural and plant fastening, with industrial breaking-back and production wrenches alongside. Torque multipliers extend controlled tightening beyond what a wrench alone can deliver, for wheel studs and large fasteners on HGVs and machinery, and torque measurement and calibration equipment keeps the tooling honest, because a torque wrench is a measuring instrument and drifts like one. Each product page lists torque range, drive size, accuracy class and length, with Compare lining up candidate tools and Ask Simon answering range and calibration questions before ordering.
Norbar began in Banbury, Oxfordshire as the North Bar Tool Company, granted a wartime licence in 1942 to become the first British manufacturer of torque wrenches, originally to tighten the cylinder heads of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. More than eighty years later, Norbar still designs and manufactures in Banbury, now as part of Snap-on, and remains the reference name in torque control, with calibration capability traceable to the factory standard.
