Torque Wrench

Nice straightforward torque wrench. Good compact size for the home mechanic wanting to keep carbon bike's fittings and fasteners at the correct torque. Just so you know, this wrench has a 14 inch drive. High quality tool with the common size sockets included.

Easy to use, meets most spec's for torque. Glad this had the bits included and torx.

Pros: Has a smaller than usual head for getting into tight places, torque level is easy to specify and read, price includes a case with enough allen / torx bits to cover most of your bike which needs a torque wrench of this size.

Cons: The head does not feature a quick release to release the bits - you just have to yank them off which ends up being a pain if you switch bits often, the torque level adjustment dial has a cheap, plastic feel - I worry about it's longevity, the torque wrench click doesn't feature as obvious of an audible or tactile click as other adjustable torque wrenches I've used.

Compared to similar (cheaper / generic) torque wrenches, there isn't much benefit to paying a premium for the PRO version, other than (maybe?) getting a product that hopefully passed tighter quality control and is calibrated accurately.

I looked at many different torque wrench options. The price offered for this one from Western Bike Works was the lowest.

Delivery was on time as promised.

This is a good little tool. So far it has worked well, and kept my carbon components safe from over tightening.

I'll have to be honest that I've seen torque wrenches designed for low torque precision equipment that is a little nicer than this one, but they are also many times the price. For the home mechanic looking for a flexible and accurate tool, this is a great option. I have a couple expensive carbon bikes with carbon components like seat posts, stems and bars. This wrench allows me to make adjustments and get things snug enough so that they don't slip, while preventing expensive over-torque damage.

Very easy to use. Was able to set all of my torque settings on my carbon bike.

My first big boy torque wrench and I could not be happier. Easy to use and only 75.00 on sale.

I like the high cuality

I like that I can set the torsion for my carbon frame

Nice to finally have a torque wrench and take guessing out of the equation - esp. with new carbon components I'm adding to the bikes. This works just as expected and at a reasonable price point. Sturdy construction. Selling point was the inclusion of the T25 socket. No problems whatsoever.

I have a number of bikes but two of them are very good carbon fiber bikes. I wanted to make sure that as I made adjustments to handle bars, seat posts and stems that I did not over tighten the bolts and break these items costing me expensive repairs. The wrench is easy to set and use. It gives me the assurance I have set the bolts to the correct tension.

I use it for bicycle maintenance and using the correct torque on carbon fiber parts. The dial doesn't go to zero and it's also hard to tell exactly what you've set the torque value at. The release button for the socket doesn't work very well and I usually have to fiddle with it to release the socket. The closures for the plastic case doesn't work anymore and the wrench and package just have a cheap feel to it. I'm not impressed.

I like this wrench, i bought this on the recommendation of a local shop. I have used it to set up my new carbon bike. It work great, easy to set.

Quality tool. Nice that it comes with array of bits that fit inside the case. Works well.

A must have item for today's carbon frames and components. High quality wrench set. Easy to use with accurate results.

I've had several torque wrenches over the years, mostly to work on motorcycles. Also had a Park beam style wrench for bicycles.

However this wrench is the one! Wide range of torque and includes common size bits.

I'm VERY happy with this purchase!

I am enjoying the use of this torque wrench. The dial setting takes a little understanding at first, but no problems thereafter. User should note that when the torque setting is exceeded, the handle will break over in a slight clockwise motion from the head. That is normal and discernable to the user. There is not a loud click that some brands of torque wrenches exhibit.

High quality Shimano product. I feel better now about cranking down on stem and seatpost bolts. Nice selection of bits and hardy travel case.

Will give a review when I give this wrench a bit more use. But seems to work fine. It's a bit pricier then others on the web but are the others accurate? I'd have to over tighten and crack a part.
