What's the tool this mech is using @ 1.17

I'm guessing it's this one?

Very similar but it looks like the (cheaper) Ritchey Torqkey.

There are similar tools available from other manufacturers if you're not into blue.

Thanks both

Bit pricey - the Blue being £32, Ritchey £18

Never had one before, thought it would be good to have, but wondering if I need it now

I have one of the cheap(ish) little torque wrenches that Wiggle/CRC/PlanetX/others sell under various names and does 2-24Nm and comes with a load of hex sockets for about £30. Comes in useful for other small fasteners with different torque settings.

You really need an adjustable as there are so many differing spec bolts on a bike

Even a stem (Thomson) has 2 settings for bars and steerer bolts...
