Quagga Posted January 10, 2020 Share What are the best value for money wrenches out there. It seems one would need to get 2 different ones. One to cater for the 2Nm to 40Nm then 40Nm and up passed 100Nm. Most bolts require quite a lower number, which=le some of the suspension bolts require a 100Nm.Lastly are the Digital Torque Wrench Adaptors worth looking at?Which ones? the highest torque on a bike a saw is the crank at 54nm Nothing above that even seen by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo@ Posted January 11, 2020 Share Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated.Budget is not great so will probably stick with something generic and non-digital. That Giant wrench looks like good value.Am also considering these two at EVObikes:https://www.evobikes.co.za/torque-wrench-set-2-24nm.htmlhttps://www.evobikes.co.za/workshop-tool-torque-wrench-2-14nm.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they are really lekker tools to have. gogo@ and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HdB Posted January 11, 2020 Share There is also this one at Easybike:https://www.easybike.co.za/radon-torque-wrench-set-4-24-nm.html A bit cheaper than the one at Evobikes, but it looks like it doesnt come with an extension bit, which you do get with the one from Evobikes. gogo@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter-za Posted January 11, 2020 Share No experience with this one, just saw it while browsing : https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/birthday-sale/products/axis-torque-wrench-set Edited January 11, 2020 by Pieter-za gogo@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easybike also have a more expensive set, with more attachments including the extension. BUT settings start at 6 [edit:5] nm which is a pity as otherwise it ticks all the boxes.Still looking for the BBB one people were keen on.So far the Giant looks the best all-round, except I need to confirm its range, that info isn't clear. Edit: 5nm looks OK - might go with this then:https://www.easybike.co.za/radon-professional-torque-wrench-set-5-25-nm.html Edited January 11, 2020 by gogo@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo@ Posted January 11, 2020 Share No experience with this one, just saw it while browsing : https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/birthday-sale/products/axis-torque-wrench-setIs a good price. Solomons has it at more. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertusras Posted January 15, 2020 Share Has anyone tried this improvised solution? https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/torque-wrench-luggage-scale-d_1909.html That is actually pretty smart (I haven't read all of it but in principle it should work quite well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craai Posted January 15, 2020 Share That is actually pretty smart (I haven't read all of it but in principle it should work quite well) With my dodgy math skills I might either end up with a crushed frame or a loose crank gogo@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOST FACE Posted January 15, 2020 Share So far the Giant looks the best all-round, except I need to confirm its range, that info isn't clear. Sorry about that. I've updated the info. 2-15 Nm (18-133 in-lb) torque range gogo@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 15, 2020 Share Has anyone tried this improvised solution? https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/torque-wrench-luggage-scale-d_1909.htmlYoh that looks dodge TBH. But I reckon I should rig something like that up and see what our QC department think.............. MrJacques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's paid off itself with the components I never broke through the years. gogo@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
