Feels very solid and gives a clear 'click' at right time
After an extensive comparison test in 'Fiets' magazine, I decided to order this torque wrench, due to the purchase of a carbon road bike. Safer because of the sensitivity of carbon. Not for a moment ;-) regretted the purchase. Solid build quality, nice handle, clearly readable window, easy to adjust with clear graduations and a tangible 'click' at the right moment. It is stored in a solid case in which you are reminded to turn it back to 2Nm every time before storing it. Great!

Perfect
A perfect tool for maintenance on your carbon frame. No more worrying about over-tightening something with the risk of damage. Gives a feeling when you have reached the desired setting

Works well and all the most common bits present
You have to tighten it gently otherwise you won't feel the torque bend with a large torque wrench you will hear a click in the handle with this one.

Price-quality ok
I don't find the adjustment value window super convenient: The red stripe is actually too far away from the roll with the dashes of the set value. slightly tilted viewing angle then more easily displays slightly different values. This makes really accurate setting rather difficult. Otherwise, this tool seems to work properly.
Pros & Cons

Good quality but 'kink' instead of ratchet at max moment takes some getting used to
Sturdy torque spanner and a handy storage case. At maximum torque, the spanner gives a "nod", no ratchet. Takes some getting used to. Pity there are only two Torx bits included.

Pleasant and easy to use
For the assembly of my carbon frameset, I was looking for a torque wrench. Considering the range, this wrench was one of the candidates. The price and reviews were the deciding factor and so I ordered it. The wrench comes in a sturdy/rugged box with a zipper. On the inside you will find imbus and torx sockets along with the torque wrench. In the pocket on the inside there is an inspection certificate. Very easy to use by pressing and turning at the bottom. The newton meters can be read through the glass. If you use the key and you reach your torque then the head 'nods'. So you hear and see that you have reached your torque, very easy. Tip for anyone with a torque wrench: After use, take the pressure off and turn it back to 0. This ensures that the wrench stays good and accurate longer. All in all, a fine wrench at an acceptable price.

Good quality torque wrench with a wide range and plenty of bits.
Good torque wrench with a fairly long range and the most common bits for a racing and mountain bike. I have used it myself several times to tighten the screws on a carbon course bike to the correct torque. Feels solid but the durability remains to be seen. Do take care when tightening them because otherwise you might miss the click, although it is obvious if you know what to look for. A regular recalibration is necessary (every other year indicated in the manual).

It's a beautiful piece of bike readiness.

lack of explanation utilize torque wrench
I had tested the torque wrench briefly and then it buckled fine at the torque. when I applied it to use 4.2 Nmm for tightening screw I used the ratchet. i happily kept turning trusting that it would buckle on its own. it didn't, i broke the as-screw and was able to have it drilled out at the bike shop. i suspect it's in that you have to reach the torque in 1 turn of the ratchet and not stop in between.
Pros & Cons

Excellent tools
The click is obvious, but of course if you ignore it you can apply too much force, it's not a ratchet that then spins through

Superb material, and ultra-fast delivery. The packaging is also very good, so you can take this bag with you in the smallest possible space. The only drawback is the lack of a small extension cord.

Fine torque wrench - just be careful not to tighten it too much
Due to the design of the wrench, it takes a while to find the "click". Some practice before you demolish your carbon handlebars because you turn too far/tight.

Lovely little torque wrench
I already have a 5-25Nm torque wrench which is fine, but it has such a long handle, it's likely to hit the frame when in use. The little torque wrench is nice and short, after all you don't need much leverage to achieve the sorts of torques needed on a bike. It comes in a nice case with hex bits included and has a calibration certificate, which adds confidence to using it. All in all a pleasure to use and own.

Affordable good torque wrench
A torque wrench is a must have if you want to do some serious wrenching on your bike. This is an excellent torque wrench to start with. The range is wide enough that you can tackle most things, and it is easy to adjust. The only downside is that the "click" is not very audible or tangible so you have to pay attention to the head when using it.

Great tools for tinkering with your carbon bike.
This wrench is an unmissable tool for wrenching wisely on your carbon bike. I have had this wrench for several weeks and already used it successfully a few times. The wrench looks solid. Don't forget to set it back to 0 after use to take the tension off.

Bad feedback
Not recommended, the feedback when the torque is reached is very minimal. As a result, you quickly over-tighten something. Either I have a model produced on Monday morning....

Pleasant torque wrench, indispensable for a carbon frame.
Pleasant torque wrench with the right bits. The "kinking" of the head works a little differently than I am used to with torque wrenches, but works fine. A pleasant and safe feeling to assemble parts on my carbon road bike myself.

Non-working torque wrench is as valuable as a screwdriver.
Great idea but I am now stuck with a broken bike because the key does not give a single click when tightening a screw. Maybe this is a manufacturing defect or a defective one but I won't be using this wrench for now.

Frame cracked
Torque wrench set nicely at 4nm to fit my new saddle and seat post. Did not hear or feel a click during tightening as used to other wrenches. Carbon frame cracked. Regret as hair on my head.
Pros & Cons

No click but tap
Fortunately nothing was broken but it made little difference. My feeling indicated that this was not right. I tested the torque wrench for what may break and then after practicing I noticed the ticking. You just have to feel/hear this or you will go through it and turn everything to snot.

Good torque wrench for right price
For protection my new Carbon mountain bike purchased this torque wrench. The torque wrench works perfectly and is very accurate to set by the indication on the adjustment screw! Also the included bits are the right ones for my mountain bike. All in all, this is definitely recommended for anyone looking for an accurate torque wrench!
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Does what it's meant to do.
In itself a fine set. However, the description states that when you turn the set screw all the way back the torque wrench defaults to 2 nm. This is not the case!!!! You have to look carefully at the scale on the rod and turn until the red line is at the 2. Then you have definitely tightened it a few turns.

Above expectations - Clear feedback on reaching moment
Doubting this purchase due to the many reviews about the feedback being too light/no clear click. Tested it immediately after purchase and felt the feedback very clearly when reaching moment. Perhaps if you want to tighten too fast the feedback is not sufficient. In normal use, however, I have absolutely more than sufficient feedback and definitely recommend the product.
