TorqKeys

I used TorqKeys wrenching on carbon fibre bikes many years ago. They come with a preset torque. I got an 8 Nm one in Feb, when visiting the US, from a company called Prestacycle. Use it for final tightening of Armstrong foil gear (it clicks when hits the preset torque - it is pretty intuitive to use). I remember reading that bike mechs rarely got torque anywhere near spec. By feel they were all over the place in tests.
Got an email today that Prestacycle is having a Memorial Day sale, which made me think to post about this tool. I got this https://www.prestacycle.com/product/pre ... bits-tool/ and a few of these https://www.prestacycle.com/product/pre ... -hex-bits/ (in Torx T30). Probably easier to ship to the US but I think they ship to Canada (might cost more than the tool).
