Park Tool Ratcheting Click Type Torque Wrench

Definitely worth $100 best torque wrench I've had. With the exception of its larger version. I use this wrench a lot working on E-Scooters. It has clear indexing, a better torsion click even at the lower torques and there is no need to tighten a locking screw.

This is an excellent tool. The weight and all ergonomic aspects, the bit fit and guaging, and the mechanical aspects all impress and help to get the job done when your bike needs just the right torque.

This review is for the 7-1/2" quarter-inch drive model. I like it, it's easy to use, compact and seems sturdy enough so far. I used to have a really cheap 1/4" drive click-style torque-wrench which broke the first time I used it, and this is of noticeably higher quality. I don't have a calibrated wrench to test it with, but I compared it to a Wiha Torque Screwdriver and it matches very closely. Comes with a handy inch-lb to newton-meter conversion chart sticker on the handle.Bottom line, this is a fine torque wrench for the casual bike mechanic who wants to limit damage to carbon fiber components and alloy fasteners. Don't think of it as a replacement for a $400 Snap-on.I've only had it for a week, so if it breaks I'll come back and update the review.

I've owned a lot of tourque wrences, but since I'm not a mechanic I always just bought cheap ones and never cared about quality. Then I got both of the Park Tool tourque wrences and realised that the reason you use one it to get the tourque to factory settings and not over. Without this tourque wrench, you're guessing how much to tighten that bolt on your $400 bars. Don't risk it, know what the settings are.

I’m not really sure how to address the accuracy of this tool... I lack calibrated standards. But it sure is easy to use and behaves exactly as I expected. I’ve been using this a lot for the last 4 months or so since I got a carbon bike frame which I built up. Couldn’t have done it without this. Goes from 2 Nm to max very quickly. The ratcheting head is a bit large for the occasional tight space, but it hasn’t ultimately kept me from torquing any bolt to spec. It’s been very clear across the torque range when that spec is reached due to the click. Seems like a good tool.

This is a quality product. Compact enough for my travel tool box and simple to use.

Park tool makes good stuff, this is no exception

I tried using the torque wrenches from harbor freight and home depot but they didn't seem to be torquing correctly. I will have to get them calibrated and see what is going on, luckily none of my parts snapped from trying to use them...However, I finally just got the park tool version and it's perfect for all the common finer jobs like seatpost, handlebar, etc. Most other torque wrenches you find are on the upper end of torques mostly for auto parts. It was hard for me to find one that was specific for the bike components I needed.I also got the additional park tool socket and bit set because even though I have alot of tools/bits, I didn't have a socket allen set and even then it was hard to keep everything together. Now it's all ready to go whenever I need to work on my bikes.I didn't enjoy spending the money but honestly it made my build so much easier, confidence inspiring, and relieving, So for me, it was worth it and I wish I didn't spend extra money on the other wrenches. The park tool is also the easiest & smoothest to adjust of the 3 I have.However, now that I'm more familiar with torque conceptually/practically, I think I would prefer a beam wrench where you can actively see what torque is being applied on the dial. These have the benefit of actually seeing what you're doing, whether it's out of calibration, and they tend to be cheaper and easier to maintain.
