{"product_id":"electronic-torque-wrench-1-to-20nm","title":"Electronic Torque Wrench 1 to 20Nm","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost of the fasteners a home mechanic touches sit between 1 and 20 Nm. Stem bolts, brake-caliper mount bolts, fork foot bolts, seatpost clamps, derailleur hanger bolts, water-bottle bosses, every bolt on a cockpit. Get any one of these wrong and the failure mode is expensive; a carbon bar that cracks under a hard pull, a fork lower-leg casting that splits under an overtight foot bolt, a brake caliper bolt that backs out mid-descent because it was never torqued at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 266B 1-20 Nm electronic torque wrench reads the value digitally, signals with an audible buzzer and dual LED indicators when the set torque is reached, and holds the peak reading for review. No estimating where the click is, no calibrating against a hand-feel torque memory. It reads torque in both directions, clockwise and counter-clockwise, so you can take a calibrated value whether you are tightening a fastener or backing one off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this wrench is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem-faceplate, headset top-cap, and bar clamp torques (typically 4-8 Nm range)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork foot bolts on a lower-leg service (manufacturer-specified, usually 5-9 Nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake caliper mount bolts (typically 6-9 Nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost clamp bolts on aluminum and carbon frames (4-7 Nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerailleur hanger and rear-derailleur mounting torque (5-10 Nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc rotor bolt torque on six-bolt rotors (typically 4-6 Nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our shop the 1-20 Nm wrench lives in the cockpit drawer because that is where ninety percent of its work happens.

Electronic readout with buzzer-and-LED feedback at the set torque; the wrench gives you the value rather than asking you to interpret a click. Suspension foot bolts and brake-caliper bolts both sit in this range; both are fasteners where overtightening cracks a casting and undertightening loses the bolt to vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePro tip from our mechanics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoot bolts on a fork service live in this torque range. Overtightening cracks the lower-leg casting; the electronic readout is the one we trust on the bench rather than a click-style wrench that has been bumped or dropped since its last calibration. Cycle the wrench against itself before a service to verify the readout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/tech-tips\/how-to-service-suspension-fork-lower-legs\"\u003eHow to service your suspension fork's lower legs →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this wrench measure torque in both directions?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.

Because the electronic head reads counter-clockwise as well as clockwise, you can measure the breakaway torque on a fastener while loosening it, not just confirm the value when tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unior","offers":[{"title":"1 - 20Nm","offer_id":44140719308844,"sku":"627784","price":289.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/5786\/5260\/products\/266b-I-627785_59b1ad8a-d809-4d54-ab7a-3c2802ce24c0.jpg?v=1611690404","url":"https:\/\/uniorusa.com\/products\/electronic-torque-wrench-1-to-20nm","provider":"Unior USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
