Cyclingnews Verdict

I like using the Torqbar DX. The length of the bar means working with it is generally easy, and you can torque things to spec when you need to. It's also ideal for travelling with or carrying on the bike

Pros

  • +

    Lightweight and small enough to carry easily

  • +

    Bits are loaded easily into the tool

  • +

    Nice in-hand feel

Cons

  • -

    A way to attach the TorqBar to the case would be handy

  • -

    Torque click-off is a bit faint
