My brother has a cool wee plastic one, came free with his Canyon.

A normal,torque wrench is only as accurate as it's last calibration.

"My brother has a cool wee plastic one, came free with his Canyon."

wonder if it has ever been calibrated.......

its also only as good as its operator.

i have the teng wrenches here - not specifically for my bikes - i use them for other stuff more than i do for bikes. 1/4 5-25 - 3/8 20-100 and 1/2 40-200 cant fault them.

were about 40 quid each online - toostop or ffx or something

I use the Ritchey Torque Key (it has removable/interchangeable bits unlike the Bonty one) for bars, stems, controls, brakes etc

Got an old Halfords Pro for the bigger stuff.
