ChrisF Posted January 15, 2020 Share Has anyone tried this improvised solution? https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/torque-wrench-luggage-scale-d_1909.html Mathematically possible .... practically the tight spaces inside a bike frame often wont accommodate this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted January 15, 2020 Share Mathematically possible .... practically the tight spaces inside a bike frame often wont accommodate this Longer piece of string An actual torque wrench would be better and easier, this looks like it needs an extra pair of hands to work well.

gogo@ Posted January 15, 2020 Share Sorry about that. I've updated the info. 2-15 Nm (18-133 in-lb) torque rangeThat does look good... Couple of nice options out there. Thanks for the feedback. However. Seems the other half and someone who eats this stuff for breakfast (the best bike mechanic and awesome riding friend) are working together to find the birthday present Wannabe and Pieter1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted October 28, 2023 Share In the market for a torque wrench Need a basic one for my bike to do pivots and maybe finer stuff in future , crank i just joink till its lekker 2-24 or similar should be more than enough , I'm mostly after something to be doing my pivots at home really well. Stems , bars and other stuff ive been doing by hand for years and never had issues. Biggest issue I'm finding is bit sets 😬 like wtf I'm not a fan of these kits with the bits incl cause they're usually very cheap and i think the quality will reflect that also a bit weary of purchasing online , was trolling around chamberlains last weekend and saw torque craft ones more in line with what i would expect pricing to be opens up the box and wow that thing looked wayyyyy nicer than the price suggested BUT as soon as i had it in my hand the cheap feeling came through very quick ( bad tolereances all over ) So what can you suggest that you've preferably used already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alouette3 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Go Teng Tools, buy the 1/4" version and use any existing set you have or can get from any hardware store. Can also buy a 1/4" to hex bit adaptor. A good 1/4" rachet set is never wasted any way The 3/8" set linked is a little trickier to match bits too.

It was great that you can take it to get calibrated by their workshop.

Can supply an adaptor for the 3/8" to 1/4" or upsize to 1/2". Pretty much all options can be covered ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
