Default My new torque wrench

Just torqued up my newly serviced calipers on teh bike.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when it goes "click click".

That is all, enjoy your evenings!

Mmm, absolutely. I know some people have varying opinions on the need for a torque wrench but "it cant hurt" is the one I am going for. Very useful for novice hands like mine.

And now I know my nipples are nipped up just right

I thought there would be a pic of it at the very least

I've never got excited over a torque wrench personally

Remember to wind it back out to zero when you've finished using it. That takes the load off the spring while it's sitting in the toolbox.
