I am an old man in a dry month,
Being read to by a boy waiting for the rain.

Yep, guys in lycra now go by so fast they don''t have time to say hello. I
see that my bike repair manual has a 1981 copyright. My tools are all
pretty much old too, but aging better than me. Arthritis in my left hand,
and I can no longer trust the strength in my arms to tell me when a bolt is
tight enough. I can't hold the old beam style torque wrench and bend over
to read it at the same time.
Sooooo, I need a one of those "new" clique style, or electronic torque
wrench. But which one? and ouch look at the price! I looked at a
Craftsman, but the online reviews were not encouraging. Ditto,
surprisingly, for Park. And of course for complete bike coverage one
really needs two torque wrenches. Topeak sells one that covers the full
range of our needs but there are no dealers here in northern VT, so I would
have to go to Quebec and buy one with the owners manual in French. Or,
sight unseen, online, for a whopping $269.
What's your experience?
