Topeak Nano TorqBar 6Nm


Topeak’s compact torque wrench comes with five tool bits (3/4/5mm Allen and T20/T25 Torx) and allows you to stow your two most-used heads inside the handle. The torque socket itself then slots into the base of the handle. In use, the smooth handle is easy and comfortable to grip, with enough leverage to get up to the preset 6Nm setting easily. When you get there, you hear a series of clicks and the tool bit stops rotating. It’s nicely finished and useful for home mechanics who prefer to keep their tool kit compact or in their car. We’d go for the $95 Nano TorqBar DX though, which comes with 4, 5 and 6Nm torque sockets, making it far more versatile.

Price $42
