Thanks for the, um, Help?

I use a Sears Craftsman clicker-type with a 3/8" drive. It works well.

Pretty much a loaded question. There are a lot of criteria to define what
is best. I personally use a beam type. Cheap and good enough accuracy.
Some people like the click type but they are not necessarily more accurate
and are more expensive. Then you can go to the ultra precision type and pay
big bucks, but why? Not much if anything on a bike needs a high degree of
accuracy. Most spec's give a range of torque, get in there and most any
torque wrench will be good enough.

Wasatch, Derek did help you. He sent you to one of the best bicycle
sites there is.

I have assumed that your reply to Derek was sarcastic, because it
sounded that way.

Craftsman makes a very good beam type torque wrench that reads high enough
for bottom brackets and crank bolts. It retails for around $20.00. It's
calibrated in foot-pounds and Newton-meters.

Your right, Sheldon's site is very informative. I have spent many a late night seeking vital information from this source.

Please accept my apologie Derek, I was not trying to be rude.

Maybe I should have been more specific: Park vs. Craftsman vs. Pedros vs ???? What do most people use. Price/performance.

Thanks,

Nate

It certainly is a great cycling site, but in this case Sheldon has tongue
way up cheek.
In that picture Sheldon looks like could he torque nuts with his teeth.
(Sounds much worse than I meant it to be). Some more useful wrenches at
http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/tools/wrench.html
but I didn't see any torque wrenches.
