Best Torque Wrench

Paul Hough

Can anyone recommend an adjustable torque wrench - for bikes.   I had a Ritchey torque key that I used for my seat mount on my QR, but I need something with several settings for my BMC.   I want the clicking type, not too big so I can pack it, and I understand it should have something like 1/4 gearing vs the bigger momma's used for cars.   Point me too a good wrench and a set of keys that fit it ... might need some long ones to reach a few places.

Paul - I got this one on sale (they are always having sales) a while back. So far, I am very happy with it.

Hi have both of these and they are both great.  I primarily use the Park Tool wrench to take off the cassette for cleaning and the Nashbar wrench for everything else.
