My next tool purchase will be a 1/4" drive torque wrench for specific fasteners used for hollow carbon fibre components on road bikes. They crush quite easily. I need that wrench more than I need the 3/8" drive version.

Not too familiar with torque specs on carbom fiber components but sounds as if you may need a wrench that goes down to in/lbs. I can see where they might be easy to destroy.

Seat tubes and front stems in particular. No bike components are made in English sizes any more, at least not high end stuff. This one is most likely what I will buy: Park Tools 3-15 NM (= 26-132 Inch Lbs)

Park Tool Co. » TW-5 : Ratcheting
