Does your posse call you 'Ham Fist'? Do they say you'd make a great stripper? Did they buy you a set of easy-outs for your birthday? Maybe it's time to start checking yourself with the Park Tools Ratcheting TW-5 Torque Wrench. It's never too late to stop stripping threads, rounding socket heads, and snapping bolts-and with today's carbon components, using the correct torque when installing parts has never been more important.

 Initially dissapointed, now happy with Park Tool warrantee replacement, April 5, 2010
By Mike (Seattle)
|

I'd only used the TW-5 torque wrench a couple times over the 2 months I'd owned it began having troubles with it. The wrench was slipping with the slightest torque instead of being engaged until the desired torque is reached and then disengaging/clicking. If I fiddled with the wrench I could eventually get it to work correctly for a short time. (The wrench had not been dropped or abused and had always stored it with tension released.)
The Amazon.com vendor Niagara Cycle Works filled the order. They did not responded in a reasonable time to multiple requests for information on having the product repaired or replaced. I cannot recommend Niagara Cycle Works.
I sent the torque wrench directly to Park Tools and they promptly replaced the wrench. So far it's working well.

I own both the TW-5 and TW-6 torque wrenches and thought I would point out that you really either need both of these wrenches or you will probably want one torque wrench with a longer continuous range. The TW-5 has a range of 26-132 inch pounds, the TW-6 has a range of 88-530 inch pounds. Meaning the TW-5 is going to be great for smaller projects like tightening bolts on brakes, shifters, etc. For bottom bracket, pedal, or crank work you are going to need to go with the larger TW-6 wrench as a procedure like replacing a Bottom Bracket will require anywhere from 450-600 inch pounds of torque.
Both of these tools come with nice hard plastic clamshell cases and instructions. The TW-5 comes with a 1/4 to 3/8 drive converter as it is a 1/4" drive ratcheting torque wrench.
Remember to dial these back to the minimum torque setting to preserve and maintain the calibration - and maybe most importantly don't loan them to anyone who doesn't know how to use a precision instrument with care... ;-)
So far these have both held up nicely and are a wonderful addition for my tool collection. They fully meet my bike repair/mechanical tinkering requirements. After too many stripped/broken bolts and parts, these will pay for themselves really quickly.

Better than competition, June 16, 2011
By KenM

Wasn't sure if this wrench was going to be worth the money. It was. Use this all the time. Was also pleased to find out that the torque ratchet works in both directions... my Harbor Freight wrench doesn't! This came in handy when torquing my bottom bracket.

So far, so good., February 8, 2011
By A. Apuzzo (Boulder, CO United States)

This review is for the 7-1/2" quarter-inch drive model. I like it, it's easy to use, compact and seems sturdy enough so far. I used to have a really cheap 1/4" drive click-style torque-wrench which broke the first time I used it, and this is of noticeably higher quality. I don't have a calibrated wrench to test it with, but I compared it to a Wiha Torque Screwdriver and it matches very closely. Comes with a handy inch-lb to newton-meter conversion chart sticker on the handle.
Bottom line, this is a fine torque wrench for the casual bike mechanic who wants to limit damage to carbon fiber components and alloy fasteners. Don't think of it as a replacement for a $400 Snap-on.
I've only had it for a week, so if it breaks I'll come back and update the review.

 ratchet torque wrench...Nice size, poor quality., January 20, 2012
By tenring

When I got the tool I was very please with the size and how it adjusted. Myself being picky about the accuracy of these tools compared its accuracy with one of my high-dollar tools and come to find out it was not even close to being accurate. It was 1-2 Nm off and that equates to 8-16in/lbs.. at every setting. I emailed Park Tools and the fellow I happen to talk to said that was normal. What? For almost $100 I'd expect much better. He did offer to let me send it to them and let them fix it. But you said that was normal???? I just returned it for a refund. Its imported from China so you have to guess their cost is like $2. So they have a huge mark up. Geez torque wrenches from Harbor Freight are imported from China too and they sell for $15-20. I'm very disappointed and needless to say will likely never purchase a Park Tool again. I'm very glad I purchased it on Amazon. Easy hassle free return that didn't cost me anything. Thanks Amazon!

Decent wrench, but not overly impressed, May 4, 2012
By Bryan Z.
|
|
I was hoping for a more solid, precise tool. The ratchet lever is very sloppy, making it hard to determine when it is in the correct position (far left or far right). If not, the torque sensor will not work. And it's not a true "clicking" wrench. Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it just disengages when the torque setting is reached.
