I would agree, but my torque wrench doesn't work (as a torque wrench) on left threaded bolts, despite having the wee lever to flip the ratchet... All it let's me do is use it as a standard ratchet

Thanks guys. I thought it said in the instructions the wrench was for right-handed thread only. No mention of the little lever.


Mine was certified by John Li as well. He must be a busy man.

This is the one I invested in. Most jobbies don't need the bigger ones on the bike - for example I just did front brakes over haul and most bolts need 20-40nm, the largest was the axle nut requiring 67 I believe.

It came with a calibration certificate. I think for 10nm it actually does it to 12nm, but as range goes up it is more accurate ie 40nm test was 40.7 or something actual.


Also, may have been said but you can adjust for left handed nuts (they need torquing right too ;) )
