Product Information

If you are tightening bolts where there are two or more in the same location, such as on the stem, make sure you tighten each bolt evenly rather than fully torque one and then the other. Other tool manufacturers have been producing 8-, 10- and 12-point star drivers and sockets for many decades. CDI, part of the Snap-On corporation, is a torque specialist, and this is the cheapest tool it offers.

Its 23cm length helps when making small adjustments at higher torque settings because you don’t have to heave on the tool. Lezyne’s minimalist 2-10Nm wrench comes with six hex and three Torx bits and a couple of screwdriver heads, and its finish quality is up to Lezyne’s usual high standards. Sometimes, such as on Shimano crank pinch bolts, you’ll be given a range and you should aim for the middle of that range.Oscar prefers lightweight road and gravel frames with simple tube shapes, rather than the latest trend for aerodynamics and full integration.

Read along, as we’ll share the features of each product, and what you should look for in a torque wrench.

The use of a dedicated product is recommended, as conventional Phillips and flathead screwdrivers cannot be used with Torx and tamper-proof screws. Security Torx has its own set of variations, and many other variations of Torx drives are available in Security or TR versions. This property allows the head of the fastener to be smaller for the same required torque, which can be an advantage in applications where space to accommodate the head is limited. Professional gunsmiths and armors recommend the TorQ-Armour Miniature Torque Limiter Socket, as it has a torque range of 15 to 65 in. The "external" variants of Torx head sizes (see below) are described using the capital letter "E" followed by a number ranging from E4 to E44.
