This is a 1/4 inch drive torque wrench covering 2 to 24 newton metres, which spans nearly every bolt found on a bicycle from stem faceplates to pedal threads. It comes with hex bits in 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10mm, Torx bits in T10, T25 and T30, Phillips bits in Ph1 and Ph2, plus an extender and an additional wrench for holding counter-torque while tightening.

Most components, especially carbon parts, have the recommended torque value stamped or printed directly on the part itself, near the bolt hole, or listed in the manufacturer's manual. Set the wrench to that value before tightening, and stop as soon as it clicks or signals that the target torque has been reached, rather than continuing to tighten further.

While it is most critical for carbon frames and components, a torque wrench is genuinely useful for any bike, since both undertightened and overtightened bolts can lead to creaking, slipping parts, or stripped threads over time. If you own even one carbon component, such as a seatpost, handlebar or stem, this tool moves from nice-to-have to essential.

After use, it is good practice to wind the wrench back down to its lowest setting before storing it, since leaving it loaded on a high torque setting for long periods can affect the internal spring's accuracy over time. Keeping it in a dry place away from dust, and avoiding using it as a breaker bar to loosen stuck bolts, will help it stay accurate for years.

The 2 to 24nm range and standard 1/4 inch drive bits make this wrench useful for other light precision jobs around the house that need controlled torque, not just bicycle maintenance. That said, it is calibrated and best suited for the lighter fastener range typical of bikes rather than heavier automotive or industrial bolts.

Yes, this is a genuine torque wrench set sold through DoGoodCo, built to give consistent, repeatable torque readings across its full 2-24nm range. If your unit arrives damaged or inaccurate out of the box, our support team will help arrange a replacement as per store policy.
