The SILCA T-Ratchet + Ti-Torque puts real torque measurement in your jersey pocket, so roadside or trailside adjustments to carbon seatposts, bars and stems are done to spec rather than by feel. SILCA cites data from a large carbon component maker attributing roughly 70% of damage to adjustments made without measuring torque.

Highlights

• Ti-Torque beam reads 2-8 Nm in real time as you tighten
• 72-tooth ratchet mechanism
• Converts from screwdriver to ratchet to ratcheting T-handle with magnetic components
• S2 steel hex, Torx and Phillips bits plus a steel bit extender
• 220 g including the waxed canvas case

Ti-Torque beam

The Ti-Torque extender weighs just 30 g and carries three separate scales (2-6, 3-5 and 4-8), so you can see when you've reached the torque you want. It's a beam-style gauge: it shows the torque you're applying rather than clicking at a preset value.

One tool, several jobs

The T-Ratchet's interchangeable magnetic parts turn it from a screwdriver into a ratchet or a ratcheting T-handle in seconds, giving you several tools in a very small package.

Compatibility & fit

Bits cover 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm hex, T10, T20 and T25 Torx and a 2 mm Phillips. Torque range is 2-8 Nm; always follow the torque figure printed on the component.
