[Closed] bike specific torque wrench?

Just got a small digital topeak one that seems very good , but I do like my older click type snap on one

I just have a Sealey 2-24 Nm one I use for the bike.

Relevant recommended torque settings are usually printed on the stem and seatpost.

Most of them aren't accurate, Snap on are the only ones i use which are accurate but most people are far too tight to buy one.

I have a Giant one (not very often i can say that). Nowt`s snapped cracked or slipped yet.

I use a BBB one. Saved me when Trek asked me to send it in when I wanted a new carbon frame under warranty. They tested the torque wrench and said it was accurate so got my new frame.

had one of those bbb 30 quid bike ones but it was not too accurate, now using one of the shimano pro ones (about 90 quid) but it seems to have remained accurate over two years of use...

Torquefingers.

The xtools one is pretty good, think its around £60 on crc.

I've got a Pedro's one for smaller stuff, and a big heavy X-Tools one for BBs etc. I am not convinced the click type is better than the old Park Tool TW-1/TW-2 type (which cost less, have less to go wrong and don't need calibrating)

Have a gander on the park tools web site

Then grab some cheap non bike ones off eBay , I did my cytech 2 course last year and it works for me?

Of course you dont need one - but it's great to have and to learn from - eg there is huge difference between 6NM and 8NM etc.

Anyway - I got one of these - been totally consistent over the last few years for me. Downsides are that it's 3/8 and dont come with hex bits (but screwfix do ok quality 3/8 sets).
