For those using and or contemplating the use of any click type torque wrench, please note that they are generally least accurate at the extremes of their scales and most accurate over the middle 50% of their range. Some click type torque wrenches are capable of torqueing left hand threads, some are not. These things are important to know so that one can purchase the best tool/s for their particular use/s. I have an assortment because of this fact. There are some recently introduced electronic square drive adapter type readers that can be used with your existing sockets and drivers, these seem to be extremely accurate although usually of Chinese manufacture.

Something tells me you work for them and are spamming them. I was surprised though to learn that Futek is actually in the U.S. it sounded like a fake amazon brand though their torque stuff looks to be more for industrial applications and not for bikes.

I use a Harbor Freight model. It seems to work. Shimano's docs specify torques for every part.
