Torque Wrench Set - 1/4" - 1-25Nm
If you want your bike to run in mint condition then it's worth getting the right torque value on your bolts. Over-torquing can result in damage to your parts - some of us have wrecked dropper posts and carbon parts as a result. Under-torquing is downright dangerous as things can fall off or rotate unexpectedly on you.
Before purchasing this please read the entire product description so that you understand how to use this product properly.
This Torque Wrench is 23cm long and has markings to provide Torques of 1-25Nm. The wrench is calibrated at 5N, 15Nm and 25Nm to ISO standard 6789 (within a +-4% tolerance). It can also provide lower torques but they are likely to be outside of the 4% tolerance. We advise that you watch the following video to understand how to use it, especially at low torques. Please note that at low torques the wrench does not make an audible clicking sound.
That range allows this torque wrench to be used for everything from lock-on grips to beefier suspension pivots. The correct torque is achieved when the head of the torque wrench swivels relative to the body. It is important to pay attention to the head of the wrench when applying torque.

The first time you use this tool it is worth using a medium torque setting on a high torque bolt to get a feel for what the mechanism feels like when a torque is reached. Once you are familiar with using the tool, go nuts!
Like with all torque wrenches, make sure you store the wrench at zero torque after using it. If you don't set it back to zero torque, the gauge will become inaccurate after some time.
Please note that this torque wrench only works in the clockwise direction (tightening conventional threads). The torque limiter will not activate with left hand threads - you risk breaking the tool and damaging your bike. I.e. Don't use it on both of your pedals!
