So I need a new one.
What are people using?
Low N/M ones ideally.
Handlebars,stems etc.
Thanks,
Max

This has been really good and a useful range for most stuff.

Good price too.

I also have the wiggle Lifeline one and it seems good, although I have no experience of any others...

I've got the Wiggle one as well - one word of warning when using it: it doesn't "break" when you reach the required torque like other ones I've used in the past. Instead there's a very subtle give and then it carries on so it's possible to overtighten if you don't pay attention.

I was given a Ritchey Torque Wrench as a birthday present from my girlfriend.
Best pressie ever; use it all the time.
There is a cheaper version Ritchey Torque Key?

Norbar. Always. Yes, it's a couple of quid more than the Wiggle job (they're £70 ish on Amazon) but they are just a better tool made by a company who specialise on torque products. Mine is one of those tools that is a joy to use as it just feels quality.

Expensive though, but I think it will last, there is a cheaper version Ritchey Torque Key?
