Morwa Posted May 12, 2011 Share I've decided to buy a torque wrench with all the fiddling going around in my garage. So….now is the question which one to get? I’ve seen CWC advertising the BBB one for around R600 (handle with bits), and my LBS has got a Park Tool one for R1000 (just handle). Any experiences with these ones, or which one should I order (and where)? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted May 12, 2011 Share I have had my BBB for over 2 years now and still very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaskar Posted May 12, 2011 Share Go for the Norbar wrench, its higher quality than either the BB or the PRO, and more accurate. http://www.totalcycling.com/index.php/manufacturer/norbar/norbar_4_20.html?action=currency&id=ZAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterza Posted May 12, 2011 Share Wenches are not for torqueing to, wenches are for other things... If you want to torque then phone lifeline. Bumbumdaboom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morwa Posted May 12, 2011 Share TX for all the replies and comments. Just spoke to my LBS and checked CWC....BBB is out of stock from the suppliers.My LBS recommended the RavX one. Obviously...as second choice after the Park Tool one that is in stock...but very expensive. Someone used the RavX one.....or should I wait (indefinitely?) for the BBB to get back in stock?

jatho Posted May 12, 2011 Share I've got the BBB, no problems with it, CWC has it about the same price I think as Chain. Woops, posted too late... But if CWC doesnt have stock they'll get I'm sure, ask them. Edited May 12, 2011 by jatho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted May 12, 2011 Share As a matter of interest how much is the RavX one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted May 12, 2011 Share This is on my wish list and I will go BBB with CWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted May 12, 2011 Share The digital Birzman one looks the business!Think they retail for around R1000.I like the fact that I works from 3 - 30nm and you dont have to worry about not unwinding it so the spring doesnt stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
