If you need to make adjustments to your bike while out and about, you have the option of taking one of the best mountain biking multitools to it and hoping that you've got the torque right. Best bike torque wrenches: portable torque wrenches We liked the metal handle and adjuster, which should stand up to workshop use better than one made of plastic.įor more information, read our full review of the Syncros Wrench 2.0 Torque. The Syncros wrench has a pull-up fine gauge that lets you lock in your desired torque in 0.2Nm increments. You get a reasonable range of heads too which veers towards the larger size of the hex head range and includes a 75mm extender as with many of the tools here you may need to invest in smaller size hex heads to complete your set. There's a non-Pro version of the wrench, a narrower range 1-8Nm wrench and a heavy duty 10-60Nm option, so Effetto Mariposa has a torque wrench to meet all your bike maintenance needs.Īt 22cm long, the Syncros wrench is slightly longer than the other bike-specific tools reviewed, giving you that bit extra leverage to tackle heftier tasks in its wide 2-24Nm range. Its high precision is guaranteed for 5000 clicks and you can send it back to Effetto who will recalibrate it for a 50 Swiss Franc fee. The Giustaforza wrench has quite a small window for the scale, making it quite tricky to set the torque value though and unlike many of the other wrenches tested, there's no stop to lock in the torque value and prevent it changing by accident as you work, although the design of the adjuster knob makes this unlikely.īut overall the Giustaforza is a lovely little tool. You also get 100mm long versions of the 4mm and 5mm hex and T25 heads, useful for awkwardly placed bolts and a 100mm extender you can use with the complete range of heads. There's a good range of heads supplied, which use a magnetic hex interface to the wrench which is more compact than the more usual 1/4" square connection.
With a 14cm usable length and knurled grip surface, there's enough leverage for its 2-16Nm range while it's still compact enough to carry around in its supplied tool wrap. You probably know Effetto Mariposa for its products that span the best tubeless tire sealants, but it has a quality range of bike tools, with the Giustaforza wrench being compact but perfectly formed for bike maintenance.
It's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the Swiss brand's torque wrench.
