PRO Torque Wrench

Pro Torque Wrench The Pro Torque Wrench should have a place in your toolbox if you care for your components and your safety. With so much carbon and lightweight alloy kit on the scene; it has never been so important to tighten things to the correct torque. If the bolts on your components specify a torque value; they must be done up to that value. Not more; not less but that exact tightness. This means investing in a torque wrench and the Pro Torque Wrench from Shimano is a quality tool that you can wager your carbon frame on for its accuracy. Covering a torque range of 3-15Nm the Pro Torque Wrench takes care of all the small delicate bolts used on stems; seatposts; 2-piece chainsets; etc – basically all the bolts except the big torque stuff like bottom brackets and cranks. Dialling in the torque is easy: you simply pull the adjuster out and turn until the dial aligns with the desired torque reading. The tool has increments of 0.4Nm in a range of 3-15Nm with an accuracy of ±4%. This is more accurate than the torsion bar wrenches and the cheaper style of torque wrench with the graduated scale along the handle. Best of all; the kit includes ¼ inch M3; M4; M5; M6 Hex; socket extensions and T25 & T30 sockets which should cover most of the bolts on a bike; although a T20 Torx could be handy for some. It isn’t cheap and you can pick up a torque wrench for half the money; but you can also pay a lot more. With the Pro torque wrench you’re paying for quality and accuracy; so ask yourself: how much do you value your expensive componentry?
