I'd only used the TW-5 torque wrench a couple times over the 2 months I'd owned it began having troubles with it. The wrench was slipping with the slightest torque instead of being engaged until the desired torque is reached and then disengaging/clicking. If I fiddled with the wrench I could eventually get it to work correctly for a short time. (The wrench had not been dropped or abused and had always stored it with tension released.)
The Amazon.com vendor Niagara Cycle Works filled the order. They did not responded in a reasonable time to multiple requests for information on having the product repaired or replaced. I cannot recommend Niagara Cycle Works.
I sent the torque wrench directly to Park Tools and they promptly replaced the wrench. So far it's working well.

When I got the tool I was very please with the size and how it adjusted. Myself being picky about the accuracy of these tools compared its accuracy with one of my high-dollar tools and come to find out it was not even close to being accurate. It was 1-2 Nm off and that equates to 8-16in/lbs.. at every setting. I emailed Park Tools and the fellow I happen to talk to said that was normal. What? For almost $100 I'd expect much better. He did offer to let me send it to them and let them fix it. But you said that was normal???? I just returned it for a refund. Its imported from China so you have to guess their cost is like $2. So they have a huge mark up. Geez torque wrenches from Harbor Freight are imported from China too and they sell for $15-20. I'm very disappointed and needless to say will likely never purchase a Park Tool again. I'm very glad I purchased it on Amazon. Easy hassle free return that didn't cost me anything. Thanks Amazon!

This review is for the 7-1/2" quarter-inch drive model. I like it, it's easy to use, compact and seems sturdy enough so far. I used to have a really cheap 1/4" drive click-style torque-wrench which broke the first time I used it, and this is of noticeably higher quality. I don't have a calibrated wrench to test it with, but I compared it to a Wiha Torque Screwdriver and it matches very closely. Comes with a handy inch-lb to newton-meter conversion chart sticker on the handle.
Bottom line, this is a fine torque wrench for the casual bike mechanic who wants to limit damage to carbon fiber components and alloy fasteners. Don't think of it as a replacement for a $400 Snap-on.
I've only had it for a week, so if it breaks I'll come back and update the review.

Decent wrench, but not overly impressed
I was hoping for a more solid, precise tool. The ratchet lever is very sloppy, making it hard to determine when it is in the correct position (far left or far right). Read more

Better than competition
Wasn't sure if this wrench was going to be worth the money. It was. Use this all the time. Was also pleased to find out that the torque ratchet works in both directions... Read more
