Anyone got one of those Bontrager / Ritchey Torqkey preset torque wrenches?

Something like this, with TorqKey written on the shaft (I think one company makes them for a number of brands)?

f

If so, does yours have a tiny bit of play in the shaft when you push / pull the bit towards / away from the handle?

Just dropped mine while doing a bit of fettling and my OCD is going haywire!

The bit is pressed into the shaft and sometimes have play, sometimes the bits fall out completely and need gluing back in. Hope this helps.

Ah, I misread and thought you had play between the shaft and the handle. The bit on my 3 all pull out so you can switch between different sizes (4, 5, t25...)

@simondbarnes yeah its the shaft that has a bit of play.

@wheelsonfire1 its the actual shaft that has half a mm or so play in it rather than the bit itself. That looks solidly glued in there with epoxy or something.

A bit late but yeah the Bonti has a milli or so up n down play in the shaft with a little clunk, I used a soldering iron on the fixed bit on mine to heat it just enough to melt the glue and pull it out, then I glued a little magnet disc inside so I can change bits like the Ritchey one.
