Mocked the guy with the torque wrench on his bike stand. Now I own three.
Last year a customer rolled in with a carbon frame and a torque wrench. I laughed it off. Thought it was overkill for bikes. Then I snapped a seatpost clamp bolt on a $4000 road bike. Had to order a new frame for the guy. After that I bought a Park Tool TW-2. Saved me three times already on carbon steerer tubes alone. Anyone else eat crow on a tool they swore was pointless?

Heard a shop guy say torque wrenches are worth it on expensive bikes, @wendy_park76.
