Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Topeak Nano TorqBox 5 - Compact Torque Wrench Set with 5 Tool Bits, 5 Newton Meters (5nm) by Michael Cooper

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worked well for a year then broke with normal use

This product worked great until it broke. I bought it a year ago but only used it 3 times. Once when it came time to tighten my handlebars, again a few months later to tighten the seatpost, and the third time tightening a friend's handlebars I did - the whole Torqbox broke in two. Even with a threshold of 5 Nm, I was always careful when tightening the screws. When 5Nm was reached and I started to move freely I stopped spinning...this product was great when it worked but literally only took 2 and a half hits before it broke. Maybe I just have a bad block, I don't know. But I can't get a refund at this point, which is a shame. If they got a replacement I would update the rating - if this unit lasted longer than it did I would easily get 5 stars. I simply cannot recommend such an unreliable product.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
