one of these arrived this morning :

with the idea of popping into back pocket when on new bike so I can fettle with carbon things.
first impressions are it's a clever wee thing. A quick check against my bigger torque wrench suggests it is about the same 5NM as the other one 😆 although initially I though it was more than 5NM to click off because the small handle giver a very short 'lever'
cost?
I've just got one too - they're ace! Especially when putting a carbon post in a carbon frame! Whats scary is when you put a normal allen key on the bolt afterwards and feel how loose it is - I've been properly over-tightening stuff!
SuperStars one is better, you can change the bits...
sorry, been out all day - was about a tenner. Changing the bits could be handy, but I suppose stem bolts are pretty much the same size (or at least on my bikes they are (and same as seatpost on roadbike !)
Some people have managed to change the bits on them, mine seems stuck fast but irrespective it's a handy little bit of kit, accurate too.
There's two versions. One is fixed, the other comes with spare bits. 5mm, T25, 4mm and a couple of others I think.

But you can on the Ritchey one too, at least on mine (about 2 yrs old).
+1 awesome little bit of kit.
As others have said their seem to be 2 versions , one where you can't change the hex key to a different size and one where it's movable. I think the Supastar one is changeable. Either way great tool.
Having used the ritchey tool, I went and bought a full torque wrench set.
