okay, it is 5Nm only, but if you have a carbon frame and don't want to over-torque this is a great tool. Do check to see if you need other settings -- there are compact adjustables, just not at this price point.
I was very hesitant to spend money on a torque wrench for a long time. I finally caved and got this little guy. It handles 90% of all the day to day adjustments you would make on your bike. Stem, saddle, seat post, accessory screws, etc. Its very noticeable when you hit torque. Its light enough to take with you for mid ride adjustments in a saddle bag for instance. Its a such a small investment for an everyday useful toolI wish I bought it sooner.
I wanted a torque wrench to have in my under saddle bag and decided this might fit the bill. Although it works as described I find that for older and slightly weaker hands the short lever provided by the wings (arms?) is getting harder to bring the item being tightened to full torque. Young strong hands ENJOY!
I have found this to be a pretty handy with the right application. Not enough length or rotational clearance for many jobs, but it is just about as portable as they come.
I use this for adjustments and Bike fits for Disabled Vets. I like how all the bits and sizes are on the holder. the Bontrage only has one size to each handle. I can torque everything Seat post, Stem, Brake Cables, Bottle Cages and SRAMZIPP Garmin holders.
I frequently travel over a mountain pass to visit friends and family and to ride. I travel with bike inside of my car to keep from road grit and sand on snow covered roads. Torque key enables me to re-assemble bike with confidence that I will do no harm
