that park tool one is nice but if you need to torque cranks (which you should definitely do) you're going to need a long handle one. most cranks are 32 nm and the SRAM cranks are 48-54 nm i believe.

Thanks! Definitely good to know.
Just checked...the short handled
TW5's range is between 3-15Nm.
The longer handled
TW6's range is between 10-60Nm?
It looks like I'd have to actually get both or go with a
TW2 which has a 0-70Nm range.
It looks like the frugal thing to do would be to get the TW2 because it could handle just about everything I could
need it for, but I like the shorter handle of the TW5 for tight quarters and that would force me to buy the TW6 for
it's greater range. I think I'm going to go with the TW5. I expect the overwhelming amount of adjustments I'd be
doing initially would be to lighter components (stems, seat post clamps, etc...) to start out with then add the TW6
as the need arises. Thanks again for the info. Very helpful.
