IMHO waste of money. i know that you are ment to torq terminations but nip it up and a quarter turn for luck inormally good.
I do like the advert that says it complys to BS7671 though never seen torq settings in there

The wiha one is excellent,it says the torq settingsinmanufacturers instructions which your meant to follow

@scotsparky, I get what you mean, the only reason I asked is I got questioned on it on my elecsa assessment. Most db's have torque settings in their fitting instructions, so he asked me how I knew I was installing according to manufacturer without a torque driver. Fair point, although I don't like having to fork out for over priced tools.

@lukethoma which model Wiha are you referring to, there are several different sets, thanks
