This is a great little torque wrench. It’s so small I keep mine in an extra glasses clamshell case. The wrench and the bits fit in the case with room to spare. For me magnification is required to use this tool. The small size , I feel , is an advantage while using this tool for the low torque ratings this wrench is made for. I have a “clicker” torque wrench that will go down to 3Nm but it’s about two and a half times longer than this wrench-it feels like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.With this little gem you can actually feel the torque in your fingers while using it. Be aware though- this is Newton meters only- no inch pounds.

This beam torque wrench is so much easier to use than the click torque wrenches I've tried. You just start tightening until it's at the desired torque. For the price, the wrench is surprisingly well made, solid, and precise.

Unfortunately, I don't have another torque wrench to compare them to for accuracy, but this wrench is solidly built, the bits all fit snugly and securely into any bolts or screws you need to tighten, and the measurements are easy to read. And best of all, they don't need to be set back to zero and shouldn't need to be calibrated. The bits all fit securely into the bits holder, and the wrench is magnetized so that the bits click into place. They can sometimes get a bit stuck in the bolt if you tighten a bolt with a lot of force, but that's a minor inconvenience for me. The only thing I wish it came with would be an extension or two, but you can buy any 1/4" hex to hex extension to go with this.

Awesome little travel set. I hardly ever torque to spec on my bike but after overtightening a bolt or two I decided it was time to pick one up. It does the job fantastically and I don't have to mongo tighten every bolt now

LIKES:It works well.Tiny size. So it's easy to fit in a little bike bag.It's light weight. So it won't weigh down the bike.It's simple. So it won't get knocked off calibration easily.DISLIKES:I need a magnifying glass to look at it as I'm tightening, in order to be accurate.This is partly due to my poor eyesight. I ALWAYS carry a magnifying glass.OVERALL:It's accurate enough if I use a magnifying glass. This is a trade-off. I could get a bigger, heavier, more expensive, more fragile torque wrench. One that can be set to the desired torque. Those wrenches click when you get to the right torque. So I won't need to look at it. But, I find this wrench better. I planned to get one of those more expensive ones for home, and use this one to travel with. But now that I've used this little one, I no longer plan to get a better one for home. This one is good for home AND the road.

Update, since I'm now looking for a new torque wrench:The beam definitely gets bent out of alignment over time, which unfortunately I had to learn the hard way. Snapped a stem bolt by over-tightening one or two Nm, which I couldn't tell since the tool still read like I was within torque specs. Glad I wasn't on a trail when it happened. I'll be replacing it with something more expensive that hopefully won't corrode and can stay aligned. Price is probably still fine around $20 for a spare torque wrench that never leaves your toolbox, but maybe don't rely on this if you can afford something better.Original review:It’s fine, seems accurate, good assortment of bits included, and good price. I purchased to carry in my bag on the trail since my stem bolts are very specific about their torque and I don’t want a broken bolt on the trail. It’s only a little slower to use this compared to a standard bike multi-tool, and I’m happy knowing I won’t fork myself in the middle of a ride. It’s replaced my usual tool kit and I don’t expect to go back.The ‘meh’ star rating is for the durability of the wrench. After a couple months of rides the exposed metal is already corroded, and this has never gotten wet. Also the beam is slightly misaligned (maybe it was getting pressed in my bag?) so I might be getting my torque values off by a degree or two.Bottom line, I guess the price is right for the quality of what you’re getting. Don’t expect this to last, which is a bummer since I had thought it’s a nice little tool kit.

I bought this because I intended to upgrade my brakes an my mountain bike and didn't want to risk tensioning the bolts by guesswork.Being cheap, I expected the quality to be lacking. It isn't at all. The various heads are precisely cut, no risk of rounding the bolts. I can't comment on accuracy because I have nothing to compare it with but it is very easy to use and when I tensioned up to the rated torque on the various bolts in my project, it did feel about where experience would have had me take it if I'd done it without a torque wrench.

First - you probably don't realize just how small this torque wrench is. If you really look at the photo and see it next to the 1/4" hex drive bits, you might get an idea, but when I received it the first thing I noticed is that it is properly *tiny*. Look at the photo - it's closer in size to the Ritchey torque key than the Shimano 1/4" drive click-type ratcheting torque wrench.I've heard it said that this type of torque wrench, the beam style, is more accurate than the click-type. So, out of curiosity, I set the Shimano to 5Nm and put a 6mm bit in it, which is almost exactly the size of the 1/4" hex drive bit in this wrench. Turning the two against each other until the Shimano's torque mechanism clicks and noting the reading on the beam wrench before it lets go, I saw that the beam type was registering about 1 Nm lower than the Shimano. Then, I put the 6mm bit in the Ritchey torque key, and tested that. The Ritchey, which is pre-set to 5 Nm, released at almost exactly the 5 Nm indication on this little beam wrench.In my reading on torque wrenches, I've heard several things which seem to be true here:* beam type wrenches are the most accurate* pre-set wrenches are also quite accurate* adjustable click-type are convenient but not as accurate.Based on what I've seen in my quick, simple tests, I'd say this seems accurate, and with that, I would say that this little wrench is a fantastic deal for the money. For less than half the price of the click-type adjustable wrenches, you've got a wrench which is very accurate, and so small you could actually consider carrying it with you! I bought this for my race day toolbox, and I might just get another one of these for the shop.
