Bicycle Mechanics - Any feedback on this torque wrench?

Undecided between this and the Park Tools but this has all the bits too.

How much are you going to be using a torque wrench? The wrench you linked to should be a good usable range for bicycles, it just won't cover the higher torque parts(BBs and Cranks). You may be able to get away with beam style torque wrenches - you can get two of those for less than the Shimano and those 2 would cover everything on the bike. I think for occasional use, beam wrenches work just fine - I own a Craftsman high end and the Parktool TW1 low end. I also have the Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza clicker, which is an outstanding torque wrench - range from 2-16Nm, much easier to use than any other clicker, good positive feel with distinct click, and it's way smaller than anything out there(perfect for tight spots on a bicycle) - I could go on and on about the Giustaforza, I love mine. Might want to look into that one.

Thanks.

The Giustaforza ia way out of budget, though I have a borrowed one which I am using right now. Cheapest I am seeing is 185 dollars?

We have 4 bikes at home, and I do most of the work myself. Will take to the shop for the heavier stuff, but they dont have a torque wrench either.

Beam type wrenches are good tools. The ratcheting types are designed for easy repeatability on multiple fasteners.

Just seems that the ratcheting types would be easier to use, especially in awkward places like fixing the brakes etc?

you can do better for 120. look at kd/danaher/gearwrench, cdi, precision instruments and others

This looks like the same wrench before re-branding and markup: http://www.tooltopia.com/k-tool-international-72117.aspx

No bits but a lot cheaper. Different scale, inch vs nm also.

+1 on the Beam type wrenches. They are cheaper and for the relatively few number of fasteners used on a bike, almost as fast.

spin doctor from performance bikes is a good one too...
