Bicycle Torque Wrench

A torque wrench is a must have if you have carbon fiber parts, I find I use settings 5.1, 6.2 and 13.1 NM for mfg call outs on carbon, adjusting settings by pulling the lock ring release and turning the handle. Easy to move from 5.1 to 6.2, wish my eyes were better to read the small numbers, so one advantage of multiple dedicated torque wrenches vs a universal is not having to change settings. Operation was simple and easy, good documentation on how to use, very simple. This modularity with the extension bar lets you get into more unplanned spaces. The bit and the socket adapter are securely glued and can get you into tight spots that are the diameter of the socket adapter. I tested the settings against my dedicated torque wrench and they matched up. chrome finish and general workmanship is solid, the sockets connected fine. Switching clockwise to counter clockwise worked reliably. Overall this is a good price to get a multi-purpose torque wrench that has so many bits (14). The 1/4" head translates to the sockets fitting through a 1/2" hole opening. Can be used for alot more than just my bikes! Price / Value solid.

Good value - seems to work great. Bits are lower quality, but still great value.

Nice quality tool that works great. Takes the guess work out of tightening things on expensive bike.

The torque wrench is fine, the screw tips are junk. I used it once to torque the blades on my planer, and the small amount of torque bent the star bit.

Worked perfectly. Easy to use and did everything I needed to get my bike back in perfect working condition.

The pros: Quality and feel for the price is very good. I like the case. The tool feels good in hand and is easy enough to adjust for operation. The selection of tips is adequate for most cycle work. The cons: The tips do not have a "snug" fit in the screws on my higher-end road bike and I have even had one twist out. I do not trust the break accuracy of this tool as I have not been able to get it to actually "break" in use at the 4 lb level on stem screws. Unfortunately, I have not found any way of testing it for accuracy but it just gives me a feeling of uncertainty. I could be wrong, but the feeling I get is that I'm pulling too hard and risking damage to my bike. I wish I could provide a rave review for this tool as it is very nice in every respect EXCEPT what I've outlined above. I ended up buying a better set of tips (that fit much better in my screws) which has helped make the tool more useful, but that additional expense destroyed any price advantage offered by this one. I won't be returning this but I also am not using it with full confidence. Any ideas how to test without buying another one? I am open to suggestions.

Works as advertised and has all the bits I would need to take care of my bike. It was very easy to unlock and set the torque. As far as I can tell, it worked perfectly.

For $50, I expected a good quality Chinese wrench. Instead, I got something Harbor Freight wouldn't sell for $4.99. There are so many things wrong with this tool: 1. The handle arrived loose, almost enough to fall off. I could have taken the end cap off & adjusted the bearing load, but it isn't my responsibility to fix the tools I buy. 2. The knurled handle is a hazard to your bike! If you get the wrench in a tight spot you could easily scrape paint off the frame. The end cap falls off easily, leaving a sharp edge of knurled aluminum. 3. It's a click type wrench, not a ratcheting one. You can keep tightening after the wrench clicks at the set torque The click is barely perceptible, so it's very easy to accidentally over torque a fastener. 4. There is a ton of slop in the ratcheting mechanism. This wrench rivals the tolerances of the cheapest wrench at Walmart. 5. The bits are awful! a) The business ends of them are too rounded. That makes it easy to slip & strip the head of a bolt. I compared the drivers a Park Tool hex wrench: The included drivers are far, far more rounded. They look like the tools my shop throws away to avoid damaging customers bikes. b) The bits are not marked. All the bits are in socket adapters that prominently say 1/4 on them. The 'bespoke' molded case does not have markings either. It's a giant hassle when all you want to do is find your 5mm bit. I didn't test it's accuracy. A tool of this low quality & horrible tolerances cannot have been calibrated correctly. I would not recommend this at all!

Excellent torque wrench for small diameter bolts and screws.

Did not work out of the box.
