“The Park Tool torque wrench is a quality precision tool. I have used my TW-5.2 wrench for some time and it performs as expected. The one issue I do not like with the wrench especially on lower settings is that it does not make an audible click when it reaches its torque setting. You have to watch the wrench to make sure the head deflects when it reaches its torque setting otherwise you could over tighten the bolt. I would definitely recommend this wrench to anyone working with carbon fiber or lightweight aluminum bicycles. I recently purchased another TW-5.2 torque wrench for my son.”

“This wrench has a very slight click-stop mechanism that is very easy to miss and can lead to overtightening, which is what happened to me the first time I used it. Fortunately, no damage was done because I realized that I was overtightening it, but for a less-experienced person, it could have been a ruined fork. You also have to hold the wrench just right and apply pressure very carefully for the click-stop action to work. In fact, at 10 Nm, which is what I was using it at, there is no clicking action, it's a very slight wobble of the head with no sound, that at first I didn't notice. Maybe that is a characteristic of these light-duty torque wrenches? I'm not sure, I've only ever used heavier duty ones where the force is much higher, e.g. in the foot-pounds range (automotive use). The wrench works, but at these light-duty loads there needs to be a more fool-proof method, as you can easily overtighten the fastener and potentially ruin the torque wrench.”
