The Jobsworth Pro Torque Wrench helps you to to control the tightening torque of the bolts on your bike. Many lightweight and technically advanced elements that make up todays bikes have specific tolerances for how tight a bolt can go before something goes wrong. Components can be crushed, if too tight, or slide when in use, if not tight enough, both costly mistakes. Install your bike components with precision and peace of mind so you can enjoy your ride
High quality Torque Wrench set for professional level applications. the Jobsworth Pro Torque Wrench has a wide variety of hex key attachments and a 2-24 NM range, so you can tighten your components to the correct manufacturers guidelines, avoiding damage along the way. This is especially important for carbon components that have very specific tightening tolerances.
The Jobsworth Pro Torque Wrench uses a special torque tube design that does away with the click of less accurate wrenches. When the bolt reaches the correct tension, the shaft of the wrench pivots on the head of the wrench giving you the correct feedback that you've reached the correct torque value.
Ideal for use on stems, headsets, seat clamps, brake lever clamps, chainsets and brake rotors.
Top Tip: Try using the wrench with one of the hex key bits clamped into a vice and using a low setting 3-5nm, get a feel for how delicate the action is.
NB:The Jobsworth Pro Torque Wrench has a minimum working setting of 2NM. Selecting a value below this level removes the 'torque limit' function and could result in overtightening of bolts.

Nice torque wrench, easy to adjust and locks the torque setting so it doesn't move while you're doing up the bolt. The only downside is that the case doesn't hold the wrench properly (it looks like it's made for a bigger wrench), so it rattles about when closed. Easy enough to fix with a bit of foam.
I was wary about the wrench due to the price - it looks ok and is fairly budget (as expected), but seems fairly reliable and simple to use a it is (optimistically) adjustable to 0.2Nm and uses a beam system so doesn't click, but bends when it reaches the preset and lets you keep turning so needs a bit of common-sense and awareness. My copy came with instructions, but they are not really necessary as it is a common design and there are loads of tutorials and videos on-line. Overall I'm very happy with it.
This has a very high quality feel to it, and Im pleased with the purchase, but dropped a star because I had to spend time working it out due to the absence of clear instructions. Even now, Im still not sure what the decimal numbers around the column are for. Presumably for fine tuning, but something in the box explaining how this works would be a good idea.
I agree with some of the comments below. It's not immediately obvious how to set the torque range. (You have to twist the silver ring on the handle up to the required range setting). It would really benefit from having some instructions in the box. I only figured out how to use it by contacting the Planet X customer services team - and also watching this old video YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBQ6pMexMJc
just received this great looking tool, very quick service. but there are no instructions, I think I can figure it out but really !!
Just received and tried out. You can feel the quality. Gauge looks to be properly aligned with 0 on the line when looking up the shaft so able for instance to identify 6.2Nm. Very pleased, especially at such a reasonable price.
Great bit of kit , well made , easy to use and good value
Fantastic piece of kit, and at an unbeatable price. Quality tool that far outweighed my expectations. Great deal. Thanks.
A great little tool. It did take me a little while to figure out exactly how to adjust the torque setting, but now I have, it's great!
Agreed, Im reasonably intelligent, but havent a clue how it works??? Please give me a clue!
Torque wrench is a lovely bit of kit what about some instructions? Like I didn't realise you had to press the other side the of the head to insert/release the attachments.
Good bit of kit. Never been a fan of precision tooling but after years of wrecking cheap bikes, now I have a decent bike I want to maintain and change parts accurately - this seems to be the right tool for me. Decent price and relatively easy to use once you get the hang of the reading.
