Hello all,
I have a cheap beam-style torque wrench (Ice Toolz), but I find it hard to use in some tight spaces on the bike, so I want to get a good quality:
– click-style wrench
– non-digital
– Preferably 2-15Nm range
– Not trying to stick to a budget, just want the best (within reason).
I wanted to get the Park Tool TW-5.2, but strangely I've been hearing not-so-great things about it? I thought Park Tool was the gold standard for all bike tools? https://www.bike-components.de/en/ParkTool/TW-5-2-Torque-Wrench-p59326/
Second on my list is the Pro (Shimano) Torque Wrench. https://www.bike-components.de/en/PRO/Torque-Wrench-p53253/
Which one would you get? Is the Park Tool one actually no good? Thank you!

I got a venzo and it’s been fine. If you look into this you will find there are a lot on the market that look the same. Different prices and brands. So you choose brand or price for the same thing
stop using torque wrench. you already got the elbowgrease with using the beam style torque wrench. I find those lever click style torque wrenches extremely annoying to use for small torques. This is the design for the bigger torques (this is where i usually overtighten the cassette or crank).
I have this one: [https://www.bike-components.de/en/Topeak/ComboTorq-Wrench-Bit-Set-p34237/](https://www.bike-components.de/en/Topeak/ComboTorq-Wrench-Bit-Set-p34237/)
I find it quite useful.
Wera Click-Torque A5/A6 (depending on what style of bits you prefer) or Proxxon MC 15
