CDI TORQUE PRODUCTS TLPT5NM 5 Newton Meters Pre Set Limiting T Handle

My first torque tool ever, and it works great. Need it as all my bike parts need to be precise - and so far this tool has been great. The fact that you can swap out the allen head for any others is perfect.

Simple and does the job. I thought the Allen key was magnetic and could be replaced but doesn't seem to be so.

I just bought a new carbon road bike frame, seat post and bars. This torque tool has been great for a making adjustments during the fitting process. I no longer worry about applying too much torque. I just turn until I hear the pleasant clicking sound signaling 5 Newton Meters. I carry the tool in my back pocket and make adjustments during my long rides. I prefer this over my heavy ratchet torque wrench. I have no complaints. It's easy to use, comfortable feel and is an overall great tool!

I use CDI torque keys constantly. I am constantly changing stems on bicycles and setting the torque, so my CDI torque keys have gotten a lot of use. I've been using this particular brand of torque key for close to 10 years.A few comments based on my experience:1. The ergonomics are great. I have a Ritchey torque key and I refuse to use it. The Ritchey does not fit in my hand properly and it is actually difficult to turn. The CDI fits squarely in my palm and is easy to get a firm comfortable grip without it causing hot spots in your hand.2. If you're tightening lots of bicycle bolts, especially the stem and bars, 5Nm is pretty standard, and it's just easier to have a preset key around when you're doing lots of tightening. This is tool is indispensable to me.3. The audible snap is much better than the silent click on adjustable torque wrenches. The audible snap just provides much better feedback. It makes lots of bolt installs much more intuitive and more efficient.4. One quibble I have with these keys is that they tend not to last. The handle is cheap plastic and they are a little flimsy. The label badge that's glued on the top of the handle will pop off pretty quickly, which is not a big deal They work fine, but I notice the internal magnet that holds the bit in place has a tendency of becoming dislodged and dropping out, thus making the metal bits constantly fall out of the key. With a lot of use you can expect to get about a year of out of these. I'd personally like something a little better made - and not made in China.5. for 20 bucks they are fine, but the MSRP on these is $35, which is a little pricey when factoring in the relative cheapness of the product and short life span and the fact you probably need to get multiple torque settings to have a complete set.I'm actually looking at changing it up and trying a different brand.

Great value!
