The torque wrench is a little small but very useful for most of the smaller bolts that need to be torqued.

A must have tool for modern cyclists. Well made, easy to use. If you have a carbon fiber frame, stem or bars, this tool is a must.

I really like this torque wrench but wish it was a little bigger to work with other areas of my bike where we need a larger wrench and more torque. This does work great though for all of the other areas of the bike and keeps you from tightening the bolts down to much.

If you own a carbon bike and want to safely torque the bolts then you need one of these. If you set it to the correct torque you dont have to worry about damaging your cabon bars, seat post, etc.

Just traded my old steel for a carbon wonder. Needed a torque wrench to dial in the fit check all the fasteners etc and to keep everything tight in the future. Looked at some reviews online then checked prices and vendor reliabiltty and chose the PRO from Bike Tires Direct.com. Glad I did. Got a reasonable deal. It arrived on time as advertised and works perfictly.

Have used just a few times so cannot speak to the durability but a rate it highly so far for the quality and ease of use.
Review by AD
Highly recommended. Set comes with all the ends needed except for crank bolts. Very easy to adjust the torque setting. Small and light, easy to take to races. And the price was right when on sale at biketiresdirect. I would recommend this to anyone concerned with over tightening expensive carbon parts, or just wanting to know your components are on securely.

I have only had this torque wrench for a few
weeks now. It has already seen action several
times though. I have used it primarily on carbon
fiber components (handlebar clamps, seat post
binding bolts, brake levers), but have found it
useful in places I would never have considered
before (cleat screws on my mountain bike shoes).
It is easy to use and increases my level of
comfort and confidence in my work.

Nice straightforward torque wrench. Good compact size for the home mechanic wanting to keep carbon bike's fittings and fasteners at the correct torque. Just so you know, this wrench has a 14 inch drive. High quality tool with the common size sockets included.

Pros: Has a smaller than usual head for getting into tight places, torque level is easy to specify and read, price includes a case with enough allen / torx bits to cover most of your bike which needs a torque wrench of this size.
Cons: The head does not feature a quick release to release the bits - you just have to yank them off which ends up being a pain if you switch bits often, the torque level adjustment dial has a cheap, plastic feel - I worry about it's longevity, the torque wrench click doesn't feature as obvious of an audible or tactile click as other adjustable torque wrenches I've used.
Compared to similar (cheaper / generic) torque wrenches, there isn't much benefit to paying a premium for the PRO version, other than (maybe?) getting a product that hopefully passed tighter quality control and is calibrated accurately.

I'll have to be honest that I've seen torque wrenches designed for low torque precision equipment that is a little nicer than this one, but they are also many times the price. For the home mechanic looking for a flexible and accurate tool, this is a great option. I have a couple expensive carbon bikes with carbon components like seat posts, stems and bars. This wrench allows me to make adjustments and get things snug enough so that they don't slip, while preventing expensive over-torque damage.

I like that I can set the torsion for my carbon frame
Review by portlandcrankster
Nice to finally have a torque wrench and take guessing out of the equation - esp. with new carbon components I'm adding to the bikes. This works just as expected and at a reasonable price point. Sturdy construction. Selling point was the inclusion of the T25 socket. No problems whatsoever.
Review by Jerry
I have a number of bikes but two of them are very good carbon fiber bikes. I wanted to make sure that as I made adjustments to handle bars, seat posts and stems that I did not over tighten the bolts and break these items costing me expensive repairs. The wrench is easy to set and use. It gives me the assurance I have set the bolts to the correct tension.

This torque wrench fit is purpose perfectly. Compact and accurate and comes with the most common size sockets used. A great addition to my toolbox. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on Snapp On or Matco.

Easy to use, meets most spec's for torque. Glad this had the bits included and torx.

Very easy to use. Was able to set all of my torque settings on my carbon bike.
