Torque wrenches are useless if they are not accurate. After much searching around for one I found this. It's somewhere around 99% accurate and cheap. There are other ratchet type wrenches that are as good but 5 or 6 times the price. Good points- Accurate Cheap Easy to use Comes with Allen hex bits Very light Bad points- Can't be used on bolts in tight spaces. Torque scale can be difficult to read in poor light or if in an awkward spot. Overall, well worth the money especially given how accurate it is.

Very cheap and made largely of plastic. I don't think this would be suitable for even very occasional use, as the torque measurement mechanism is very fragile. I used it to check low torque bolts like a stem and it broke after just a few minutes.

Nice easy tool to use on a bike, really good for carbon frames to ensure you don't over tighten fixings. Simple display to see pressure applied. Not sure how accurate the Torque reading is, but good as an indicator. I have used mine for about a month so far and no problems at all.

Cheap and easy to use for those little jobs where that little extra force with a spanner or key maybe just too much.

Very good in use so far. Very smooth in operation. Never needs calibrating as it can easily be zeroed if it goes out of adjustment. From reading a comprehensive review of Torque wrenches covering a similar torque range & use, it came out very favourably in terms of accuracy and value, but I have no way of checking its accuracy. Easy to use. Various size bits conveniently located in the handle. Magnetic attachment of bits is helpful but not very strong. I got it to torque Thule car roof bar bolts correctly to 6 Nm for which it is excellent. On the black version I have, the scale and pointer are enclosed behind a clear plastic window which appears to be a much more refined scale & pointer set-up than the earlier (?) orange handled version. The scale is precise, uncomplicated and very clear & easy to read... unlike some of the clicker style wrenches. It measures torque via the bendy beam principle, which is an elegantly simple but accurate concept and conveniently gives a continuous torque reading whilst you are tightening a fastener so you know how close you are from the required torque before you actually get there, so no risk of over-tightening. On the downside it only measures torque in the clockwise direction and it must never be used for undoing fasteners as this would move the pointer off the scale damaging the pointer and ruin the wrench.Read full review
