Fits but doesn't fit Torque wrench

So for someone like me who sometimes has to disassemble the handlebars and stem of a carbon road bike to fit in a hard case, this is a potential find. I can leave the larger, more expensive ratchet torque wrench at home. However, given the park's excellent reputation and at this price point (about 70% more expensive than a similar Pro-branded product), I expected more. My magnet hasn't fallen out yet unlike some of the other posters here, but the engineers fell asleep designing one end of this tool. The end where the bits are stored. First, the tool comes with four bits, but the pen storage only has room for three. Therefore, it forces you to always keep the fourth bit in a magnetic holder or somewhere, greatly increasing the chances of losing it. Secondly, the cap for the storage compartment is just a soft rubber with very coarse threads that will not withstand heavy use. will all four bits covered with threaded metal fit? Pay more for higher quality, that's what Park is all about. Here they missed.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
