I use a Sears Craftsman clicker-type with a 3/8" drive. It works well.

Pretty much a loaded question. There are a lot of criteria to define what
is best. I personally use a beam type. Cheap and good enough accuracy. Some people like the click type but they are not necessarily more accurate and are more expensive. Then you can go to the ultra precision type and pay big bucks, but why? Not much if anything on a bike needs a high degree of accuracy. Most spec's give a range of torque, get in there and most any torque wrench will be good enough. Chris "Wasatch5k" wrote in message ... Who makes the best Torque wrench? Thanks, Nate |

It's calibrated in foot-pounds and Newton-meters. |

Your right, Sheldon's site is very informative. I have spent many a late night seeking vital information from this source. Please accept my apologie Derek, I was not trying to be rude. Maybe I should have been more specific: Park vs. Craftsman vs. Pedros vs ???? What do most people use. Price/performance. Thanks, Nate |

(Sounds much worse than I meant it to be). Some more useful wrenches at http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/tools/wrench.html but I didn't see any torque wrenches. --Art |
