Review on Park Tool Ratcheting Torque Wrench by Steve Harris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

has everything you need. The torque click is a little soft, so you have to be careful not to tug on it too quickly or you'll miss it. The box it comes in may be a bit thicker plastic and I'm afraid it might rip with enough impact. The torque settings are very easy to adjust and quality wise the 3/8" screwdriver has an impressively low backlash making the wrench easier to use and more precise. Point 2's recent update uses the TW-5.2 small torque wrench also uses a 3/8" fitting, while almost all other wrenches in this category use 1/4"; this is good for accuracy and compatibility with sockets and bits) Also keep in mind that in this Nm range it's relatively There are slightly cheaper wrenches that are bi-directional.In this category you need bi-directional torque to handle things like bottom bracket shells In my case the choice in this category ended up with either this wrench or a more expensive digital one It's easier, in the light torque range of around Go past the mark by 1-3 Nm on the low end and 15-25 on the high end when you're ready to deal with quarter inch bits or an adapter for your 3/8 inch bits. Not so in this larger power range; it really ended up with Park or Trouble.
