GuistaForza Torque Wrench

 

 

GIUSTAFORZA Torque Wrench by Effetto Mariposa

The Giustaforza (Italian for Correct Force) is a nifty little torque wrench that accepts the same bits as a cordless screwdriver. Your replacement bits are readily available at any hardware store.  The GiustaForze torque wrench features rotating adjuster, a graduated torque scale, and the head clicks over when the torque setting has been reached. The scale goes from 2 Newton-meters to 16 Nm in 0.5 Nm increments. It does not have a ratcheting head.  Works great with Carbogrip Friction SprayBoth CyclingNews.com and Velonews.com rave about the GiustaForza wrench!

....None of this would be worth squat if the Giustaforza wasn't accurate, and we're pleased to report that it is within a scant 0.5Nm of a far more expensive digital model from Snap-On and easier to use to boot. So let's recap here: small, neatly designed, accurate, reasonably priced… hell, the thing even looks good, as one would expect of something designed and made in Italy.

carbogrip
Friction Spray
 

Carbogrip Spray

While a torque wrench is essential when working on your bicycle, if you have carbon parts, Carbogrip is  also a necessity especially when those parts refuse to stay fixed respecting the recommended torque specifications.

Carbogrip is the perfect complement to your torque wrench.  It is a special high-molecular weight silicone resin that, sprayed on your part before assembling it, polymerizes (within 3 to 5 minutes) into a grippy surface with the following characteristics:

  • Prevents part slippage and the dangerous, normal reaction when a seatpost or handlebar slip at the recommended torque value: overtorqueing the bolts!

  • Facilitates clamping of smooth carbon parts (handlebars, seatposts, aerobar extensions..)

  • Polymer features anti-seize properties, allowing an easy component removal when needed

  • Works great as threadlock (steel, titanium, aluminum, carbon bolts)

  • Waterproof and sweat-proof

  • Very easy to use: no need for brushes as with other assembly pastes/liquids.

  • Made in Italy
