I use the Paul Matty spanner with no problems whatsoever.

If you are keen to get the correct torque just use your own weight and mark the correct distance on the handle of the spanner (ie if you weigh 100 lbs mark the handle at 2 feet from the nut centre) and stand on the spanner when it is in a horizontal position.
