The only time I ever used a torque wrench on bikes was when rebuilding
suspension forks, for that sort of application I think this would be
more appropriate:

but the torque range is still a bit high. Most other fastenings on a
bike are pretty easy to tighten "by feel" if you have mechanical
sympathy.



Surely you want this one http://sheldonbrown.com/tork-grip.html :-)

Seriously I can;t really think of a time when I'd use a torque wrench,
rather than a spanner. when it's tight, it's right.
