- ideal torque range, 2-16 Nm (17,7-141,6 inch-pound):
this is the best torque range for precision bicycle applications and 'sensitive' components. 2 Nm is good for small aluminum screws, 16 Nm is enough for big M6 bolts used in some seatposts. A wider scale wouldn't allow the same precision at the range extremes. In use, always refer to the suggested (on technical documentation or on the part itself) torque values;

- extremely user-friendly:

• set the maximum torque rotating the handle terminal, reading the torque on the tool-window (graduate scale with 0,5 Nm increments);
• insert the appropriate bit (depending on the bolt you need to tighten)
• using the tool, a loud 'CLICK' and a 3° free-movement tells when the torque has been reached

- ready to use, with 16 bits included:
16 bits (standard 1/4" inch size fitting) are provided with the key, allowing to use the torque-wrench on almost any screw present on modern bicycles. A 70mm long '5' hex bit allows to tighten road-brake levers recessed bolt. All bits are manufactured from S2 special steel, with very high (62 Hrc) surface hardness, to ensure maximum durability;

- minimalistic head to reach "difficult" bolts:
Giustaforza's simple, 'non-ratcheting' head is a feature and not a bug: thanks to its small size, it can be used on bolts that are simply impossible to tighten with ratcheting-head torque wrenches (the bigger ratcheting head will interfere with the seatpost shaft, in this case);

- lightweight & strong:
the light aluminum body keeps the weight down to a record-breaking 169g per key, less than half the weight of heavy industrial wrenches often used for bicycles. This is paramount to get the right torqueing sensitiveness at low torque values, without mistaking the effort to hold the tool with the applied torque. Adjustment knob and bit-holder are made out of steel, to better stand daily use;

- professional precision:
torque tolerance is +-4%, according to UNI EN ISO 6789:2004 norm (calibration certificate with SIT reference is available upon request). 

- calibration service:
the +-4% tolerance is guaranteed for 5000 cycles (5000 'clicks'), then the wrench should be re-calibrated. Calibration is a service we offer in our laboratories at the cost of 35€ plus shipping expenses (may vary depending on the countries). After every calibration, the tolerance of +-4% over nominal value will extend for 5000 cycles. After calibration, the wrench will return to the customer with a calibration certificate;

- a state-of-the art tool, made in Italy:
functional, linear in design and precise in any detail: shouldn't be a surprise to know that Giustaforza 2-16Nm has been conceived and produced in Italy. The tool is hard-anodized with laser-etched iscriptions, and it's built to last. Each sample is checked and numbered as a single masterpiece;

- easy and safe to carry:
the safety package protects the tool from shocks and keeps the overall size down to 17x4x4 cm;

- resists well to low and high temperatures:
lubricant is the only element of mechanical click-type wrenches (like the Giustaforza) influenced by storage temperature. While the elastic properties of the spring are largely unchanged at temperatures between -20 and +100°C, grease can freeze at a certain temperature or become very fluid and migrate at high temperatures. The Giustaforza wrench is aluminum (a good thermal conductor) and its small body can be quickly heated by just keeping it in the hand, returning the grease to within its range of operation. To make sure the grease is working properly and to take it back to the joints (in case of migration), we recommend making the wrench click a few times at the lowest setting before using it, pushing the head on the side with the thumb.
We use a grease with a very wide range (from -20°C to +90°C), but clicking the wrench head a couple of times after long storage at extreme temperatures is still recommended.
