Torque Wrench
 
I am looking for a torque wrench, for lower values NM specifications. Is 2-10 nm sufficient or should I get 2-14nm ?

I've narrowed down three, and I really like the Topeak Stick 2-10nm and Feedback Sport Range and park tools tw5.2

I like the Topeak because feel like it's size might make it easy to get to harder to reach places, and it looks slick, but I feel like I miss out on the 11-14nm like on the feedback sport range and park tools 5.2.

I only ride road and hybrid bikes, with that in mind, what torque specs do i need for the lower values, and which tool do you recommend ? I definitely want something with 2nm upward.

Thank You.

I have a 2-8 and compact 0-10. If you can swing the cost get the 2-14. The Feedback is Nice and compact. It also comes with bits.

The Park would be for keeping in the shop.

If you are going to buy one anyway you might as well get one that goes up to 14 Nm or 15 Nm. Shimano non-drive side crank arm bolts call for 12 Nm. Shimano model on sale here:

So what fasteners on a bike need torque values of 10-14 Nm ?

Most thru axles (10-12 Nm), and (as mentioned above), the two bolts on the non-drive side crank arm of Shimano cranks.

I have one of those I bought in a bike shop in Ridgecrest CA years ago. Wish it went up to 22nm at times. So easy to set.
