XLC TO-S41 Torque Wrench

A torque wrench is a vital tool in any discerning home mechanic's toolbox. Tightening bolts to a specific torque is important on bicycles as under-tightening can lead to things coming loose, while over-tightening can damage frames – particularly carbon fibre ones. This XLC TO-S41 is 185mm in length and is able to tighten between 6Nm and 15Nm. It also includes sockets for you to use in conjunction with the wrench. These are 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6mm and T25.Torque wrenches are handy tools to have when you want to know exactly how tight a bolt is, for example on your headset or seattube, as they eliminate errors and potential damage to the bicycle. The torque required for each bolt is usually found written on the relevant component.
