PRO Torque Wrench

High quality Shimano product. I feel better now about cranking down on stem and seatpost bolts. Nice selection of bits and hardy travel case.

I am enjoying the use of this torque wrench. The dial setting takes a little understanding at first, but no problems thereafter. User should note that when the torque setting is exceeded, the handle will break over in a slight clockwise motion from the head. That is normal and discernable to the user. There is not a loud click that some brands of torque wrenches exhibit.

Will give a review when I give this wrench a bit more use. But seems to work fine. It's a bit pricier then others on the web but are the others accurate? I'd have to over tighten and crack a part.

Finally invested in a torque wrench as I got tired of going to the shop to have my power meter reinstalled (been back to the manufacturer twice). Tip if you invest in a crank based power meter, go ahead and invest in a torque wrench as the PM will go south on you at some point.

Nice, heavy-duty tool, easy to use. A vital addition to your bike toolkit, if you plan to safely make any adjustments on your carbon fiber Bike.

price was decent for a tool that all cyclists should have in their bag. the accuracy of shimano products are top notch without the park tools premium price.

I have replaced 90% of the parts of my 10 year old road bike in the past year. After a lot of online research, the PRO Torque Wrench seems to be a standard issue item. This type of torque wrench is a must have tool if you are working with carbon fiber. I found it to be a good value with the included sockets and extension. The tool performed as it was advertized. I felt confident in tightening up parts to their recommended tension. This coming from a amatuer bicycle mechanic with long history of over tightening and destroying parts.

I purchased the Pro Torque Wrench to loosen and tighten my seat post each time I load my road bikes in my car. I travel with my bikes inside our car and the removal of the seat postseat is required. The bike frames and seat posts are all graphite and need careful tightening, so using the torque wrench eliminates the guesswork.

The obvious value of having a torque wrench is so you properly torque sensitive bolts especially when they are in contact with carbon fibre, but for me the real value is the night before a big ride when I am going over my bike and checking to make sure it is ready it is just a click away from piece of mind that my seat post won't slip down or the bars won't tweek. I have a Snap-On 14 drive inch lb torque wrench but I needed a second for a different location and purchased this Pro, it is very accurate super EZ to use and I like it as much if not more than the Snap-on at a lot less than half the price. I just wish they made a 38 drive 50nm version, I would buy it immediately..

This product works to dial in torque. Easy to use. I went to YouTube to get additional user information as the wrench contains minimal info. Good buy from BTD.

Glad to get this on sale at BTD. Already had one of my own and bought one for a buddy. Good for the home shop and traveling on bike weekends.

taking care of my bike collection

This is a tool we all need at sometime if your working on bikes regularly. Before I got this, it was always is that tight enough, or too tight? The PRO Torque wrench is a great addition to my tool collection and getting it on sale was awesome! What more is there to say?

I am admittedly new to using a torque wrench but needed to insure a troublesome seat post was tight enough to eliminate constant slippage. Not knowing how to use it, I dutifully read the instructions. Unfortunately, although provided in a couple dozen languages, it doesn't say much except to check out their website. Even more unfortunately the website was no more than a list of links to other websites. Interestingly it now appears to be back on line, but still no more than an online copy of their paper instructions provided with the product. So just trying it on my own, the seat post clamp broke, so I guess that problem has been solved in forcing me to buy a better seat post.

Fortunately, a friendly bike shop mechanic was able to quickly show me how it works and speculate on what might have gone wrong with my initial use. He assured me it is a good product, so I will continue to experiment with it. This assurance is the only reason for giving this product even 2 stars. The learning curve can be pricey and thus the value rating.

Finally, shame on PRO for providing instructions that are appropriate only for those who don't already know how to use the tool. But then if their market is only professional shop mechanics. So if you are not, just beware.

Once, I almost crashed because my handlebars weren't properly tightened. Since then, I over-tighten the bolts to prevent a repeat of the problem. I can't tell you how many times I've snapped bolts I tightened down too hard. We travel a lot to cycle, so I'm frequently re-attaching my handlebars to the stem. Now I can get the torque just right!

I was upgrading a 9 speed grupo on an older bike to a new 105 11 speed grupo. All of the boltsnuts have specific torque requirements. i suppose you could guestimate the torques with your box wrench set but I like to do these things correctly. The Pro torque wrench is easy to set and easy to use and it comes with all the sockets I needed for the job. The scale is in Newton Meters so you'll need to convert if your torque values are in inch-pounds.

Very easy to dial in the exact torque setting you need. The wrench clicks when it reaches that torque and won't torque tighter unless you reset it accordingly.

Been wanting a high-quality torque wrench for years. Up until now i have used only the small torque keys from Bontrager and Ritchey. For bigger stuff I have just guessed and prayed! I bought the above PRO wrench when it was featured on a daily special. It works as expected, however, the hex heads on the bits do not feel quite as precise as other high-quality hex keys I have used in the past. Nevertheless, it does the job for those handful of times you need something more than the usual 5-6nm.

Convenient to have all sizes in one tool box. Excellent wrench for graphite bikes

Disclaimer I have not actually used this product-the 3 star rating is just a placeholder. That said, I just paid a lot more for a Pedro's Demi Torque Wrench that came a la carte. This wrench appears to be exactly the same thing but you get all the drivers, too-and for a whole lot less. The Pedro's works great and I'm very happy with it except for the higher price and lack of drivers. I wish I'd seen this before buy the Pedro's.
