After a lot of stuffing around trying to get my stem to clamp a composite steerer, I've decided to stop putting off this purchase. Which style, brand or model can people recommend for general bike usage? I want one for smaller torques such as stems, seat clamps and seatposts, as I've never had trouble with high-torque fittings such as BB cups.
I've a 3/8" socket set that I'd love to be able to use with it.

I have just purchased a Ritchey Torque Key. I haven't used it yet but it should do all i need it for. It is pre set to 5 NM but is non adjustable so may not suit all applications. Just a thought🙂

BBB do a nice kit around $100, all the bits too. 😉

I've seen that, George - it looks good. Do you know what socket size it uses - is it 3/8"? -

Don't know, but I will have a look next time I am in the shop.

+1 on Ritchey's Torque Key. At a fixed 5Nm torque, it's what most of those bolts require. Very convenient.

Dean Woods has it on special at the moment. 😉
