I'll just take the bike to the shop with me tomorrow.

I will also attempt a repair of the wrench at some point. But not this weekend.

What if you need a torque wrench to repair it?

See, life is so much simpler when you deal with steel. Just tighten it till your wrist hurts, no problem.

It was steel.

It was flexy, heavy, unnecessarily hard to crank and eventually rusted away.

...contrary to what you may have read, they work even better if you warp them on installation. :thumb: #experienceisthebestteacher

Yeah, imagine if it was plastic. Asplosions all over the neighborhood. They'd have to sell 'em in 6-packs.
