Park Tool Ratcheting Torque Wrench Review

Needed the correct torque wrench for my bottom bracket as it started to squeak after I disassembled it for service. Had to use it for proper tension/tightening and it worked so easily. I recommend following the storage instructions and zeroing.

If you plan on working on your own bike this is a must have. It goes up to 60Nm, which I've noticed with many other torque wrenches like this one. Great tool for tightening suspension bolts. Ccrnk bolt kit and I'm sure many others. Very well processed, very stable in the hand and very accurate. Good product

Have you ever seen the 'Tighten to 40-50Nm' mark on your bike and asked yourself 'Damn? How much does it cost?" Don't worry anymore. Just type in and never guess again. This is a quality option for brakes, rear hubs and bottom brackets. For low torque there's another one. If you want your bike to last and how a kitten purrs, this item is your best friend.

The torque adjustment transparent window fell out when first used, and the large black knob slides up and down, left and right on the wrench, making the torque adjustment inaccurate.

Very disappointed as I expected the ParkTool to be of high quality, especially at this price point. I would not recommend this torque wrench.

I bought this wrench because I found the Park TW-2 range of handlebar wrenches to be really difficult to use to install bottom bracket shells and cartridges and square cranks. -2, you really have to bend down to be in a position where you a. Read the indicator; b. Try hard; in. Balance the pivot point of the handle and d. Use your other hand to prevent the tool from slipping off the part. tw-6.2 avoids all these problems. The fact that it's a shorter wrench with no bend in the handle greatly…

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…
