gianttcr2It's a great torque wrench for any bolt on your bike that requires up to 15 Nm of torque. It's very easy to use and the size of the wrench {7 1/2" length} is perfect for 85% of the bolts/parts on your bike.

A GuestThe tool description is a little misleading. It is a METRIC torque wrench with range of 3-15 Nm. There is a sticker on the side of it that shows how the metric scale translates to SAE units. I am glad it is designed to be metric though. It works as expected for a clicker-type torque wrench. It feels a little awkward in the hand due to how small it is but that is due to my experience in using much larger ones on automobiles. The included 1/4" to 3/8" adapter was really convenient since I did not have one already. It comes in a nice blue plastic case.

A GuestI wanted a torque wrench for stem and seat post. This does the job. My other torque wrench is metal so the plastic on this one is a bit of a letdown, but so far so good.

gdpasteurMust-have tool for any carbon bike owner. Works great, easy to use, small and light! Can't beat the price. Handles seat posts and handle bars all the way up to saddle clamps.

bartonriI have the larger wrench too but i have a feeling i am going to get the most use out of this one. Perfect for lots of components requiring up to 15nm. Size is good and can fit into most spaces it needs too. The conversion chart on the sticker is useful too

ggatienThis wrench works great; however the granularity of adjusting the actutal nm's is a bit rough. Appears you can be off 1 or 2 at any given setting.

wpaciorekAfter examining the competitve equivalents, I selected the TW-5 for value, quality, ease of use, and great support on the Park website. It covers the critical low and narrow range of torque needed for carbon fiber components. Proper torque on carbon fiber components is not a convenience -- it is a matter of safety and reliability. The first use was assembling a Madone that had been shipped to a friend. After seeing the TW-5 in action, he immediately ordered his own from Tree Fort Bikes. Word of mouth has since caused another friend to place his order (I do not lend out my torque wrenches to ensure they are not abused).

m27...@in...b.comI only have a car torque wrench and wanted a smaller item that would be easier to handle. This tool of course allows the small torque settings needed for many bike aspects. This is perfect size and easy to operate. Since it is 1/4 you almost always need an adapter.
